Meghalaya Extended - Shillong + Cherrapunji + Dawki + Mawlynnong tour package — 5N/6D itinerary, price and inclusions

The most photogenic Northeast circuit, extending the standard Meghalaya trip with two of the region's showstoppers: the crystal-clear Umngot river at Dawki and Mawlynnong, often called Asia's cleanest village. Two nights in Shillong (Shillong Peak, Umiam Lake) and two in Cherrapunji (Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Cave, a living root bridge) anchor the trip, with day trips out to Dawki, where boats appear to float on glass-clear water near the Bangladesh border, and to spotless, flower-lined Mawlynnong. Guwahati transfers, all inter-city transport and hotels on MAP basis are included. The Umngot river is clearest in the drier winter months, while the waterfalls peak in the monsoon, so timing shapes which highlight shines brightest, but both are unforgettable. starting at INR 15,869 per person. Covers Shillong 2N, Cherrapunji 2N, Dawki day-trip, Mawlynnong day-trip.
