Begin your journey in the capital city of Shillong, also known as the "Scotland of the East". Start your day by visiting Ward’s Lake for a refreshing morning walk, followed by the magnificent Don Bosco Museum to learn about the state's culture, history and traditions. After that, enjoy a picnic lunch at the enchanting Lady Hydari Park, which is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna indigenous to Meghalaya. In the evening, end your day by a leisurely stroll on Shillong's main street, Police Bazar, to embrace the local culture and shop for souvenirs.
Begin your adventurous day by taking a breathtaking drive to Mawsynram, known as the rainiest place on earth. Visit the 700-year-old Khasi Monoliths in Nartiang village, before arriving in Cherrapunji. Visit the Three-Layered Wei Sawdong Falls and the world-famous Double-decker Living Root Bridge in Nongriat village. If there's time left, the Krem Mawmluh caves offer an exciting spelunking experience. Feeling tired? Rest the night at a cosy homestay nestled in the hills.
Start your day early with a rejuvenation session on the lustrous green village of Mawlynnong, which has been named the "Cleanest Village in Asia".

If you have more time, add an extra day for elephant ride on Kaziranga National Park's verdant greens for a surreal experience with the beautiful creatures. Few more places to visit are the Nohsngithiang Waterfalls which get enlightened by the moonlight at night, and the Balpakram National Park. In case for a solo travel, make sure you take permission from the local authorities while travelling to remote locations.
