Meghalaya Tour
Trip snapshot
Trip overview
Detaching Assam from Bangladesh, hilly Meghalaya serves as an "abode of the clouds". As life emanates here, the state babbles through its waterfalls, dense tropical evergreen forest, creaking bamboo forests, silent caves and endemic species. Khasi, Jaintia and Garo tribes and hospitable, cheerful and friendly locals subtly mark a signature on Meghalaya, making a statement of earth's healing culture.
Drooling from the countryside to stark cities, dancing to the rhythms of pouring rainfall, and trekking and boating our way through the offbeat, we will draw a map of fresh Meghalaya. This Indian North Eastern state receives most precipitation from July to September, providing vistas of heavy waterfalls and classic seasons throughout the year.
Introducing this Meghalaya Offbeat tour for travellers looking for verdant mountains, the cleanest rivers, unbelievable landscapes, root bridges, homely rainforests for endemic species and pitch-dark caves, and a blessing of exploring the inner parts of Meghalaya. Meghalaya Offbeat tour with Plan the Unplanned will pass through many offbeat places.
Here is a short map.
Guwahati -> Shillong -> Cherrapunji -> Tyrna -> Nongriat -> Cherrapunji -> Mawphanlur -> Emangre -> Tolegre -> Guwahati
We invite you to come with us on this odyssey of driving, hiking, camping, exploring, living and loving. Read the complete itinerary of the Meghalaya Offbeat Tour for a comprehensive plan and book your tickets at the earliest.

Important Notes
To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
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.
"Without Travel" option
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Embrace the outdoors
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
