Meghalaya Luxury Slow Paced SUV Tour

Overview

Embark on a scenic and soulful journey through the hills of Meghalaya with our carefully crafted 05 Nights / 06 Days SUV Tour. This itinerary blends comfort, culture, nature, and local experiences, offering a balanced mix of popular highlights and lesser-known gems—all enjoyed at a relaxed pace aboard a private SUV.
Your journey begins in Guwahati, the gateway to the Northeast. From there, ascend into the cool, pine-covered hills of Upper Shillong, where your Meghalaya adventure begins. On the way, you’ll stop at the picturesque Umiam Lake, known for its vast, serene waters surrounded by forested hills. As you reach Upper Shillong, you’ll be greeted by panoramic viewpoints and a refreshing climate, perfect for easing into the tranquil rhythm of the Khasi Hills.
The next leg of your journey takes you to Cherrapunji (Sohra), one of the wettest places on earth and a land of misty cliffs, majestic waterfalls, and ancient caves. Here, you’ll witness the stunning Nohkalikai Falls, explore the mystical Mawsmai Caves, and gaze upon the endless valley views from Eco Park and Seven Sisters Falls. Cherrapunji offers a raw, natural beauty that is both powerful and humbling.
From Cherrapunji, travel further south to the pristine village of Mawlynnong, famously known as Asia’s Cleanest Village. With its manicured bamboo walkways, flower-lined paths, and eco-conscious community, Mawlynnong is a living example of sustainable tourism. Just nearby, a short walk leads to the Living Root Bridge of Riwai, a natural marvel shaped over decades by the Khasi people. Afterward, descend to Dawki, where a boat ride on the crystal-clear Umngot River will leave you mesmerized—it’s often said you can see the shadow of your boat on the riverbed.
The tour then takes a more offbeat turn as you head to the peaceful and lesser-known region of Sonam Pedang, a serene village surrounded by dense greenery, far from the bustle of urban centers. Here, you can unwind, connect with nature, and explore local trails or simply enjoy the sounds of the forest.
On Day 5, make your way through the beautiful Jaintia Hills, stopping at Krang Suri Waterfall, one of Meghalaya’s most spectacular natural wonders. The turquoise waters and lush surroundings make it a perfect place for a refreshing dip or stunning photographs. From there, head back to Shillong, Meghalaya’s vibrant hill capital, where you can spend your evening exploring its cafes, markets, or simply relaxing at your hotel.

Your final day takes you back to Guwahati, where your journey concludes. Along the way, optional stops like the Don Bosco Museum or souvenir shopping in Shillong add cultural flavor to your farewell drive.

This SUV-based slow-paced tour is perfect for families, couples, or explorers who wish to soak in Meghalaya’s natural beauty and village charm without rushing. With curated experiences, scenic drives, comfortable stays, and plenty of time to relax, this journey offers a deeper connection with the soul of the Northeast.
