A Northeast wildlife-and-hills tour built around Kaziranga National Park, home to two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos, combined with the Meghalaya highlands around Shillong and Cherrapunji. From a Guwahati arrival you visit the hilltop Kamakhya temple, then head to Shillong for Elephant Falls and Shillong Peak, and on to Cherrapunji — one of the wettest places on earth — for the Mawsmai cave, Seven Sisters Falls and the towering Nohkalikai. At Kaziranga you take a dawn elephant safari and a jeep safari (Central or Western zone) to spot rhinos, wild elephants, deer and birdlife. Honest note: the elephant safari and exact zones depend on park rules and availability, sightings are never guaranteed, and Meghalaya's waterfalls are at their best soon after the rains. A scenic, wildlife-rich circuit. starting at INR 35,000 per person. Covers Guwahati 1N, Shillong 2N, Kaziranga 2N.
Fly into Guwahati and check in. Visit the revered hilltop Kamakhya temple, one of the most important Shakti shrines in India, and perhaps the Brahmaputra riverfront. Settle in and rest after the journey, ready to head into the Meghalaya hills the next day.
Drive up to Shillong, the Scotland of the East, stopping at the scenic Umiam Lake en route. On arrival, visit Elephant Falls and, weather permitting, Shillong Peak for views over the city. Explore the lively Police Bazaar in the evening and check in for the night.
A full-day excursion to Cherrapunji, one of the wettest places on earth, visiting the Mawsmai limestone cave, the multi-tiered Seven Sisters (Nohsngithiang) Falls and the dramatic Nohkalikai Falls, India's tallest plunge waterfall. The falls are most powerful after rain. Return to Shillong for the night.
Drive from the hills down to Kaziranga and check in. Depending on timing, visit the Orchid Park or take an afternoon jeep safari into the park's grasslands to look for one-horned rhinos, wild elephants and deer. Settle in to your lodge near the park for the night.
Start at dawn with an elephant safari through the misty grasslands, an unforgettable way to get close to rhinos and other wildlife (subject to availability and park rules). Later, take a jeep safari in the Central or Western zone for more rhinos, birds and possibly wild buffalo. Overnight near the park.
After breakfast, transfer from Kaziranga back to Guwahati airport for your return flight home, completing the rhino-and-hills tour. Allow ample time for the drive from the park to the airport.
