Meghalaya Tour

Short Tour Of Meghalaya

Tour Code: GP5

Shillong is one of India’s most charming hill-stations, nestled in hills that receive some of the highest rainfall in the world. The British flocked here, the rain perhaps reminding them of England, and the cool weather a balm to their sweaty brows. Today, Shillong continues to retain its charm.

If you love water, then Shillong has a lot of it. There are plenty of waterfalls that you can glide your way to. And the trip to Cherrapunji will be one of the highlights of your trip.

Where else can you visit the world’s wettest place and Asia’s cleanest village all in one state?

This Meghalaya tour is the perfect travel itinerary to get you started as a first time visitor to this region!

Get back to Shillong and spend the day wondering just why the British loved it so much here. Oh! We are pretty sure you will love it too!
