Meghalaya sits atop a plateau in the heart of North East India, draped in some of the world's heaviest rainfall and a canopy of subtropical forest. The Khasi and Jaintia Hills shelter double-decker living root bridges, plunging waterfalls, and the impossibly clear Umngot River at Dawki. Villages like Mawlynnong - Asia's cleanest - reveal a matrilineal society that has lived in harmony with this landscape for centuries.
A glimpse of the landscapes you'll travel through.
No inner-line permit is required for Indian nationals visiting Meghalaya. Foreign nationals should register with the Foreigners' Registration Office within 24 hours of arrival if staying longer than 24 hours.
October to April offers the clearest skies and best waterfall views. The monsoon (June–September) turns the hills intensely green but roads can be disrupted; the root bridge trek is slippery.
The nearest airport is Shillong Airport (SHL) with connections to Kolkata, or fly into Guwahati (GAU) in Assam and drive 2.5 hours to Shillong. Our tours include airport transfers from both cities.
