The standard Meghalaya circuit, pairing the Scotland of the East, Shillong, with Cherrapunji, among the wettest places on earth. Two nights in Shillong cover Shillong Peak's panoramas, the sprawling man-made Umiam Lake and the tiered Elephant Falls. Two nights in Cherrapunji then deliver the region's signature waterfalls, the towering Nohkalikai and the multi-strand Seven Sisters (Nohsngithiang), plus the limestone Mawsmai Cave and a famous living root bridge, hand-grown from rubber-tree roots by the Khasi people. Guwahati airport transfers, inter-city transport and hotels are included. Meghalaya is greenest and most dramatic in and just after the monsoon, when the falls are in full flow, though clouds can veil the views, so a flexible, weather-aware mindset pays off. starting at INR 12,649 per person.
