The Best of Meghalaya 8N/9D tour package uncovers Northeast India’s misty hills, living root bridges, and crystal rivers through a logical route from Guwahati to Shillong, blending adventure, nature, and culture in the “Abode of Clouds.” This itinerary prioritizes offbeat stays in villages like Mawlynnong and Dawki for immersive experiences beyond crowded tourist spots.
Travelers start in Guwahati for airport ease and an intro to Assam-Meghalaya vibes, then wind through Cherrapunji’s waterfalls, Mawlynnong’s pristine trails, Dawki’s emerald river, Jowai’s caves, Shillong’s urban charm, and end in Mawsynram’s record rains. Expect moderate drives (2-4 hours between stops), homestays or eco-resorts, and activities like boating, treks, and village walks. Best suited for nature lovers, photographers, and families; monsoon (June-Sep) amps up waterfall drama, while Oct-May offers clearer skies.
