Travel guide by Hempy Travel

Nature at its most dramatic

Meghalaya is known for forest trails, caves, waterfalls and remarkable living root bridges. Shillong works well as the first base.

A comfortable route

Combine Shillong with Cherrapunji, then continue towards Dawki and Mawlynnong. Winding roads require more time than distances suggest.

Choose the season

Post-monsoon months bring full waterfalls and green landscapes. Winter offers clearer skies, while monsoon travel requires flexibility.
