Meghalaya Tour Package — Discover the Abode of Clouds

Guests from Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, Kolkata, Surat, Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Indore consistently rate Meghalaya as one of their most memorable travel experiences.
Shillong — The Scotland of the East
Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, is a vibrant hill city perched at 1,496m that earned the nickname "Scotland of the East" from the British for its rolling green highlands. The city has a unique personality — rock music venues, colonial-era architecture, colourful markets at Police Bazaar, and the serene Ward's Lake park. Don Bosco Museum here is one of Asia's largest cultural museums, dedicated to the indigenous peoples of North-East India. The Shillong Peak viewpoint (1,965m) offers panoramic views of the city and the plains of Bangladesh on clear days.
Cherrapunji — Wettest Place on Earth
Cherrapunji (officially Sohra) holds multiple world records as the world's wettest place. This distinction has blessed the region with some of India's most spectacular waterfalls. Nohkalikai Falls — at 340 metres — is India's tallest plunge waterfall and one of the world's most dramatic. The turquoise pool at its base is hauntingly beautiful. The Seven Sisters Falls (Nohsngithiang Falls) present seven parallel streams plunging off a cliff edge — a sight best seen after heavy rains. Mawsmai Cave is one of the most accessible limestone caves in Meghalaya, with narrow passages lit by coloured lights, stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. Eco Park at Cherrapunji offers panoramic views of the Bangladesh plains — on clear days you can see hundreds of kilometres.
Double Decker Living Root Bridge — A Natural Wonder
The Double Decker Living Root Bridge near Nongriat village is Meghalaya's most iconic attraction and is on UNESCO's tentative World Heritage list. The Khasi tribe has been training the aerial roots of rubber trees across streams for over 500 years, creating living bridges that grow stronger every decade. The trek to the Double Decker bridge involves descending approximately 3,500 steps each way — a 6–7 hour round trip that rewards trekkers with one of the most astonishing sights in all of India. Luxytrix always pairs this trek with a local Khasi guide who knows every turn of the trail.
Dawki — Crystal Clear Waters at the Bangladesh Border
The Umngot River at Dawki is one of India's most photogenic rivers — the water is so clear that boats appear to float in mid-air above the riverbed. A boat ride on the Umngot during the dry season (October–April) feels almost supernatural. Dawki sits right on the India-Myanmar border, and the international bridge here carries trade between the two nations. Morning light on the Umngot River creates the most spectacular photography conditions — Luxytrix schedules Dawki visits at dawn for the perfect shot.
Mawlynnong — Asia's Cleanest Village
Mawlynnong village won the title of Asia's Cleanest Village in 2003 and has maintained its pristine cleanliness ever since. Bamboo dustbins line every path, flowers bloom in every yard, and the entire community participates in daily cleaning rituals. The Balancing Rock — a large boulder resting improbably on a small stone — is a natural curiosity nearby. The sky walk, a bamboo watchtower rising above the forest canopy, offers views into the plains of Bangladesh. This village is a testament to the Khasi community's deep respect for their natural environment.
Laitlum Canyon — The Grand Canyon of Meghalaya
Laitlum Canyons, often called the Grand Canyon of Meghalaya, are a series of dramatic gorges carved by the Umiam River. The viewpoints here offer vertigo-inducing drops into misty valleys below — particularly spectacular in the morning when low-lying clouds fill the gorges. The trail along the canyon rim is an easy 2–3 km walk suitable for families. Elephant Falls near Shillong is a three-tiered waterfall accessible by a short walk through forest — the three tiers are each distinctly beautiful in character. Umiam Lake (Barapani) is a vast man-made reservoir 17km from Shillong surrounded by pine forests, perfect for boating. The Mawphlang Sacred Grove is an ancient forest preserved by the Khasi people for centuries — no leaf or branch may be removed, creating an eerily primeval forest ecosystem.
