One-week trip to Kaziranga and Meghalaya – Shillong Kaziranga Tour Itinerary
Day 1 – Guwahati To Kaziranga
Get picked up by a North East Explorers representative from the airport. Drive through the plains of Assam dotted by random, small towns all along, to the Kaziranga National Park. Evening free.
Day 2 – Kaziranga To Shillong
Start early and head to the safari entry point. You will explore the jungle slowly, from the back of mighty elephants. Enjoy watching the one-horned rhinos going about their daily life from close quarters. After the elephant safari, you will head out for a Jeep safari. Post which, you start for Meghalaya, the abode of clouds. On your way to Shillong, also known as the Scotland of the East, stop by the gorgeous Umiam Lake and soak in its grandeur. With Umiam done, head to your wonderfully located Khasi homestay in Shillong and relax before heading out again.
Day 3 – Shillong To Double-decker Living Root Bridge To Cherrapunjee
Today will be the day when you see the bio-engineering marvel, the Living Root Bridges of Nongriat. Start from Cherrapunjee and head to the tiny village of Tyrna. Your trek to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge starts from here. It’s going to be a long day so, don’t forget your munchies and toffees. By the time you come back, the daylight would have almost given way to dusk. From there, drive to your Khasi homestay in Cherrapunjee for the night.
Day 4 – Cherrapunjee To Dawki To Mawlynnong
Start with what is known as Asia’s cleanest village, Mawlynnong. The drive is a beautiful one so, sit back and relax but don’t get too relaxed to not take a break or two on the way, just to soak in the beauty around. Perched atop a bunch of hills, the village sits right at the frontier between India and Bangladesh. Walk up the sky bridge to have a look at the Bangladesh plains below. Check in to a very simple but nice village homestay in Mawlynnong for the night and have your dinner there. No option of eating out today. Also, on your way, stop by the village of Riwai and visit the Living Root Bridge there.
Day 5 – Mawlynnong To Shillong
Wake – up early and take a stroll around the village. Explore its hundred-year-old church, and the narrow lanes of the village, and learn about how the village is kept spotlessly clean by watching the villagers, kids to oldies, playing their part in keeping the village clean. Post breakfast, head back to Shillong. Check-in to your Khasi homestay.
Day 6 – Shillong Local Sightseeing
Today, we explore as many local interests as possible, in Shillong. From Cathedrals to beautiful lakes to museums, there’s a lot to explore in this lovely little but bustling hill town.
Day 7 – Shillong To Guwahati
Start in Shillong at around and stop – by the Umiam lake. You can just sit and enjoy the gorgeous view of low-hanging clouds over this huge lake or go boating on its calm waters. Start for the airport from here max by 1 PM. Fly out with memories of a lifetime 🙂
