This 6-day tour takes you through the legendary living root bridges of Nongriat, the crystal-clear waters of Dawki's Umngot River — often called Asia's cleanest river — and the thundering Nohkalikai Falls near Cherrapunji, one of the wettest places on Earth.
You'll explore the charming hill station of Shillong, stroll through colourful local markets, and experience the warm hospitality of the Khasi and Jaintia people. Every moment in Meghalaya feels like stepping into a living postcard.

Meghalaya's cuisine is a delicious window into Khasi tribal culture — smoky, earthy, and deeply flavourful. Meals are cooked over wood fires and served with pride.
Meghalaya follows a unique matrilineal society — family names and property pass through the mother's line. Respecting local customs will make your experience immensely more rewarding.
