Start the adventure with a panoramic view of Shillong from the highest point of the city atop Shillong Peak. Enjoy a scenic drive through the lush valleys and hills, and take a short hike to the viewpoint tower.
Head to the stunning Dawki River, one of the clearest rivers in the country. Go on a boat ride to admire the crystal clear waters and the lush forests around. Later, hike to the picturesque living root bridges in Mawlynnong village, which are made by intertwining the roots of rubber trees to form a natural bridge. An absolute marvel of nature.
Visit the mystical Mawphlang Sacred Forest, where you can take a nature walk to learn about the unique flora and fauna. Later, head over to Elephant Falls, a series of three falls nestled in the lush greenery. The falls get their name from a rock resembling an elephant's trunk.
Explore the breathtaking caves of Meghalaya. The Mawsmai Cave of Cherrapunjee and Krem Mawmluh in Mawmluh are famous for their stunning natural formations like stalactites and stalagmites. Adventure seekers can sign up for caving tours that involve rappelling and rock climbing.
Embark on a trek to the majestic Nohkalikai Falls, the tallest plunge waterfall in India. The trail offers stunning views of the waterfall and the lush forests around it. After the trek, visit the quaint town of Sohra, also known as Cherrapunjee, and check out its many waterfalls, including Dainthlen and Wei Sawdong.
End the adventure by visiting the wettest place on earth, Mawsynram. Explore its stunning caves and soak in the lush greenery. Later, drive to Shnongpdeng, a serene village on the Umngot river. Try out river activities like kayaking and boating in the clear blue waters.
If you have more time, consider visiting the hot springs in Jakrem or the Garo Hills. If you have less time, skip the caving tour and visit the David Scott Trail or Don Bosco Museum in Shillong. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. It's also helpful to hire a local guide for some activities to learn more about the culture and history of the region.
