A road week, not a statewide dash
Shillong is the base. Sohra is the cliff. Dawki is the river. Jaintia and Nongriat are extras that need their own nights.
Trying to see every fall in four days is mostly driving. We sell five plans. Pickup and drop: Guwahati Airport or Railway Station.
The five plans we actually sell
| Package | Nights | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Meghalaya Highlights | 4N/5D | First visit — Shillong, Sohra, Dawki, Mawlynnong |
| Meghalaya Explorer | 5N/6D | Families — plus a Shnongpdeng river night |
| Waterfalls & Caves | 5N/6D | Nature — Sohra, Mawsynram, Krang Suri; no Dawki by default |
| Scenic Escape | 6N/7D | Couples — two Sohra days, river, Jaintia |
| Complete Circuit | 7N/8D | The long week — dedicated Nongriat day |
The classic loop
Highlights — 4N/5D
The first-timer card. Umiam on the way in, a Shillong town day, one Sohra plateau day, then Dawki, Mawlynnong and Riwai before the last Shillong night. Seven Sisters is seasonal. Wei Sawdong is stairs.
Explorer — 5N/6D
The same loop with a night at Shnongpdeng or Dawki so the Umngot is an evening, not a drive-through. Still not Nongriat.
The other three weeks
Waterfalls & Caves — 5N/6D
Deliberately not another Dawki card. Sohra plus Mawsynram plus Krang Suri. Use it when the river will be brown, or when the guest has already done the glass-boat photograph.
Scenic Escape — 6N/7D
Two Sohra nights, a river night, then Mawlynnong into Jaintia. The couple’s week. Still no double-decker.
Complete Circuit — 7N/8D
The only card with a dedicated Nongriat day. Stairs, early start, fitness required. If the group only wanted Riwai, sell Scenic Escape instead.
How many days are enough?
Four nights is not enough for the double-decker plus Dawki plus Jaintia. Pick one extras list, not all three.
