Meghalaya Tour Packages

About Meghalaya Tourism: Meghalaya, the “abode of clouds,” is a Northeast Indian state that was once a part of Assam. Deemed to be the wettest region in the country, it is a spectacular tourist destination bound to leave you spellbound with its dense rainforests, green valleys, lakes and waterfalls and numerous heritage sites. Holidify has many amazing Meghalaya tour packages that are affordable and fully customisable.

To experience pleasant weather, plan a trip between October and June, and make sure to visit destinations like Shillong, Tura, Mawsynram, Cherrapunji, Jowai and Nongpoh, amongst others. The capital of Meghalaya, Shillong is a breathtaking hill station. It derives its name from the Lei Shyllong idol. Shillong is often referred to as the “Scotland of India” and boasts cool weather with the occasional drizzle.

Shillong is home to magnificent waterfalls such as the Nohsngithiang Falls, often called the Seven Sisters Falls, the steep Sweet Falls and Elephant Falls. Umiam Lake, a man made reservoir, and Ward’s Lake add to the region’s natural beauty, as do the lush green Laitlum Canyons and Kyllang Rock. Don’t forget to trek up to Shillong Peak to catch mesmerising glimpses of the entire city below.

There are various museums in Shillong including the Don Bosco Museum, Meghalaya State Museum and Ever Living Museum, and religious sites like the All Saints Church. Cherrapunji receives the most rain in a year and is synonymous with the Double Decker Root Bridge above the Umshiang River. It is also known for some of the world’s tallest waterfalls including the Nohkalikai Waterfalls and Mawsmai Falls.

Meghalaya tour packages include visits to attractions like Krem Phyllut that comprises caves, Eco Park with its orchids, Nokrek National Park, Khasi Monoliths and the gorgeous Mawkdok Dympep Valley View. A paradise for nature lovers, Jowai is famous for the Tyrshi Falls, India’s deepest caves: the Umlawan Caves, Syntu Ksair, a site of freedom struggle and Stone Bridge that the Jaintia Rajas once used.

Said to be the wettest place in the world, Mawsynram is a small village where several megaliths were discovered along with a stalagmite that resembles a Shivlinga. Head over to Mawlyngbna to explore its fossils and natural geyser and the holy Mawsmai Caves featuring flora and fauna.
