Top Meghalaya Day Trips

Cherrapunji tour — one of the most dramatic destinations on Earth! **Cherrapunji** (locally called *Sohra*) sits perched on the edge of the Meghalaya plateau at around 1,484 metres — a place where clouds don't pass above you, they drift *through* you. Here's what makes a full day here feel like a journey into another world: **Dawn at Nohkalikai** greets you with pure theatre. India's tallest plunge waterfall drops 340 metres into a pool that glows an eerie aquamarine. The sound reaches you before the sight does. **Seven Sisters Falls** is pure scale — seven streams pouring side by side off the plateau edge, best seen when the monsoon turns them into a single roaring curtain of white. **Mawsmai Cave** pulls you underground into a dripping, cathedral-like limestone world of stalactites formed over millions of years. Cool, mysterious, and humbling. Eco Park** offer sweeping cliff-top views where the plateau simply *ends* — and the flat green expanse of Bangladesh begins far below.

A small but perfectly formed village that’s home to spectacular living root bridges, Mawlynnong lies about a 3-hour drive from Shillong, with effectively no public transit. Leave driving to the experts on this private and customizable day trip, with pickup from your hotel, the airport, or the train station. You’ll tour the village, which some claim is Asia’s cleanest, and pose for photos at the Jingmaham Living Root Bridge.
