Unveil the Hidden Beauty of Northeast India with These Meghalaya Tours

• Category: Family Travel

Meghalaya is a place of wonderful beauty and a rich cultural heritage. Other than the "Abode of Clouds," it provides us with enchanting forests, waterfalls, and native tribal culture. Our Meghalaya tours package that we carefully craft are made to have you enjoy the magnificent treasure of this mystical place.

The Very Green Valleys and Old Caves Explored

A trip to Meghalaya starts with a wonderful roadway drive through hills covered with grass and valleys. You will pass through narrow passages, see columns hanging like lamps and be able to feast your eyes on the numerous wonders represented by Meghalaya’s underground beauty.

See Waterfalls Magnificence Like Never Before

No trip around

Meghalaya would be complete without exploring its magnificent waterfalls. The Nohkalikai Falls, the highest plunge waterfall in India, have water falling from a height of 1,115 feet down into a deep blue basin. Another attraction not to miss is the Elephant Falls close to Shillong. Here the water flows through three steps of rock and in a deep forest.

We also offer our tours to Dainthlen Falls—a natural treasure with the presence of beautiful streams and folktales that we present to our customers.

Go to the Root Bridges in Mawlynnong and Nongriat,

A walk on the living root bridges through Mawlynnong or Nongriat attracts crowds of tourists at all times of the year. The bridges are marvels of nature, changing form with the weather and a growth of green which showers them with a beautiful curtain of leaves.

Among Meghalaya’s notable places to visit are those places where the roots of trees are still alive and form bridge-like structures that are built and maintained by the Khasi people for generations. These bridges are built from the roots of rubber trees which are suspended and are the living examples of sustainability of local communities.

The most famous one is the Double-Decker Root Bridge in Nongriat village. To get to it you have to go through dense jungle and climb over 3,000 steps, but trust me, it will be a view to remember for the rest of your life. 

Dawki and the Umngot River: A perfect place for Meditation

In Dawki, the Umngot River's utterly clear waters make it possible for boats to float on the air. The scene at this quiet place near the border with Bangladesh is also breath-taking and suitable for boating and photography.

One of the fabulous water bodies, the number of which is very scanty and for which there is no other mention, is the Meghalaya state river—Umngot. It is such a great place to visit, exploring the river and nature, all on your own.

Become a Part of the Local Community and Their Customs

Each district (Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo) in Meghalaya is a host to different tribes with their own distinct identity, language, and festivals. Their cultural and traditional life is so rich from the rhythmic Wangala to tribal attire and bamboo crafts that many areas might epitomize theirs. 

We have great offers for you, such as village stays and cultural interactions, and you can be there to not only witness but also take part in tribal life.

Take a walk through the capital of Shillong that charms with its unique character.

Our Meghalaya trip will not be full without exploring Shillong, the place which is known as "Scotland of the East." Its cool weather, vibrant markets, and colonial buildings make it the perfect place for you to have fun and explore.

Ward’s Lake, Shillong Peak, and the Don Bosco Museum are not to be missed spots to learn about the history, nature, and people of the region.

Enjoy the Allure of Meghalaya

Meghalaya’s delectable variety of flavours such as Jadoh (a spicy rice and meat dish) and Dohneiiong (pork with black sesame) will take you on a completely new food adventure. Local stall proprietors in Shillong and homestay caretakers provide access to the real taste of the region that will remain the one to which you will go back during the rest of your life.

Conclusion

Meghalaya isn’t just a place for you to come and see, it’s an emotion, a feeling, and a memory that you shall always hold dear to your heart. The state, with its uncanny root bridges, green rivers, and hospitality, beckons you to come and unfold nature’s beauty unseen by others. If you are still waiting to see the wonders of Meghalaya, the time to book your tour has come. You should reserve yourself a seat now and find out the mysteries of the clouds.
