Meghalaya Travel Guide

Best time

Choose seasons based on whether you prefer lush monsoon landscapes, clearer trekking conditions or cooler hill weather. We can tailor the route around your dates.

Getting around

Private road travel is the easiest way to connect Shillong, Sohra, Dawki, Jowai and village experiences.

What to carry

Comfortable shoes, light layers, rain protection, reusable water bottle, basic medication and a waterproof day bag.

Responsible travel

Respect local customs, avoid litter, use refillable bottles, follow trail guidance and support local businesses.

Adventure

For trekking, caving, river activities and other adventures, we recommend local guides and activity-specific safety advice.
