Detailed itinerary
Start your adventure with an adrenaline packed experience and leave behind the lush plains of Guwahati and head to the magical highlands of Meghalaya. Get ready to get swept away by the romantic monsoons of the region, perhaps they will grant you the customary mist and mystery, transforming every corner on the road into postcard scenery.
Umiam Lake is another beautiful place that is calm and quiet, and it is a huge glassy reservoir protected by gentle hills. Just stop and breathe the fresh air and enjoy wonderful sceneries.
Now we proceed further into the green bosom of the state towards the beautiful hill station of Sohra, or rather Cherrapunjee as it is much better known as, it is one of the wettest places on the planet.
In the evening we will enter our homey place of residence, among green cliffs and smoke-filled paths. Relax, hear the thunder of a waterfall in the distance nearby, and see the peaceful nature of Sohra as the mood of the days ahead.

Travel arrangements
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
