Start the day driving from Shillong to Elephant Falls. Afterward, move onto Mawphlang Sacred Grove, a dense forest with numerous tree species, butterflies, and birds. Finally, proceed to Mawlynnong Village, the cleanest village in Asia, known for its living roots bridge.
Today’s journey will be filled with surprises and excitement. First, explore the Mawsmai Cave to witness the spectacular limestone formation. The next stop is Nohkalikai Falls, India's tallest plunge waterfall, plunging over a cliff. Then proceed to Dawki River, where you can experience boating or kayaking before settling to camp or lodge at the riverbank. You'll also walk over the India-Bangladesh suspension bridge, the only land crossing between the countries.
Today, get ready for some adrenaline pumping adventure. Start with river rafting on Dawki river, followed by cliff-jumping and zip-lining at Shnongpdeng. Rest for the night nearby, enjoying the tranquil surroundings and stargazing.
Conclude your trip with a visit to Laitlum Canyons, a natural wonder that provides a picturesque valley view. Afterward, proceed to the Shillong Peak to catch a bird's eye view of the city and its surroundings. Finally, explore the markets and restaurants, and spend a leisurely evening in Shillong.
If you have more time, add a day trip to explore Nongriat Village for natural caving and a living root bridge trek. Alternatively, try a Balpakram National Park Jeep Safari for wildlife sightings. If you want to skip the adventure activities, you can spend a relaxed evening in and around Shillong or make a trip to Umiam Lake for boating and picnicking. But if you have less than four days, you can shorten the trip by removing either Dawki or Mawlynnong. Note that some places may have specific opening and closing hours that can alter your itinerary.
