How to Reach Meghalaya

Although Meghalaya has its own airport, most travellers begin their journey from Guwahati in Assam due to better flight and rail connectivity. Most Thrillophilia Cherrapunji packages include convenient pick-up and drop-off services from Guwahati, making your journey smooth from the very beginning.

By Air

The nearest major airport is Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati), located around 125 km from Shillong. With regular flights to Guwahati from cities across India, travellers planning Cherrapunji trips from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and other cities can easily continue onwards to Shillong and Cherrapunji by road.

Shillong Airport (Umroi Airport), located about 30 km from Shillong, operates limited flights and is best suited for travellers flying from select cities.

By Train

Meghalaya does not have an operational railway station. The nearest railhead is Guwahati Railway Station, which receives trains from major cities across India. From Guwahati, Shillong can be reached in approximately 3–4 hours by road.

By Road

Shillong is connected to Guwahati through National Highway 6 and covered in nearly 2.5 hours, offering a scenic drive through rolling hills and forests. Travellers can choose from:

• Private taxis
• Shared cabs
• State transport buses
• Self-drive vehicles

With Thrillophilia, you don't have to arrange local transport separately, as airport or railway station transfers are included in each tour to Cherrapunji.

Best Places To Visit In Cherrapunji

Below are some of the best places to visit in Cherrapunji:

Nohkalikai Falls

Standing at nearly 340 metres, Nohkalikai Falls is India's tallest plunge waterfall and one of the biggest highlights of every Cherrapunji itinerary. Surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forests, the waterfall offers spectacular views throughout the year. During the monsoon, the water gushes down with incredible force, while the winter months provide clear views of the turquoise pool below. The viewpoint is easily accessible and is one of Meghalaya's most photographed locations.

Double Decker Living Root Bridge

Located in Nongriat village, the Double Decker Living Root Bridge is one of the most unique natural attractions in Northeast India. Formed by guiding the roots of rubber trees across streams over several decades, it reflects the traditional engineering skills of the Khasi community. Reaching the bridge involves a scenic trek through forests, hanging bridges, and small villages, making it one of the most rewarding experiences included in many Cherrapunjee tour itineraries.

Mawsmai Cave

Mawsmai Cave is among the easiest caves in Meghalaya to explore and is well known for its naturally formed limestone passages. Visitors walk through narrow tunnels, open chambers, and fascinating rock formations created over thousands of years. The Mawsmai cave is partially illuminated, making it one of the most accessible attractions for Cherrapunji family tours as well as first-time visitors exploring Meghalaya's extensive underground cave network.

Dawki & Umngot River

The Umngot River at Dawki is famous for its crystal-clear water, especially during the winter months when boats appear to float on glass. Surrounded by green hills and peaceful landscapes, the river offers one of Meghalaya's most relaxing experiences. A tour to Cherrapunji usually also includes Dawki, where scenic boating, beautiful viewpoints and the nearby India-Bangladesh border make it one of the highlights of many group trips to Cherrapunji.

Mawlynnong

Known as Asia's Cleanest Village, Mawlynnong is admired for its spotless streets, bamboo houses, colourful gardens, and sustainable way of life. Walking through the village offers visitors a chance to experience Khasi culture while enjoying peaceful surroundings. The nearby Sky View Tower also provides panoramic views of the Bangladesh plains on clear days.

Seven Sisters Falls

Seven Sisters Falls is one of Meghalaya's most scenic waterfalls, where seven streams flow side by side down a massive limestone cliff during the rainy season. The surrounding valleys, rolling hills, and mist-covered landscapes make this viewpoint especially popular among photographers and nature lovers. During the monsoon, the Seven Sisters Falls are at their most dramatic, while winter offers wide panoramic views across the valley.

Top Things To Do In Cherrapunji

Below are the best things to do in Cherrapunji:

Trek to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge

The trek to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge is one of the most memorable trekking experiences in Meghalaya. The trail passes through dense forests, suspension bridges, stone staircases, and small Khasi villages before reaching the famous living root bridge. Although the trek is moderately challenging, the scenery throughout the route makes the effort worthwhile.

Go Boating on the Umngot River in Dawki

Boating on the crystal-clear Umngot River is one of the most peaceful experiences during a Cherrapunji trip plan. The transparent water allows visitors to see the riverbed clearly, creating the illusion that boats are floating in the air. The surrounding hills and calm atmosphere make this one of Meghalaya's most relaxing attractions.

Explore Mawsmai Cave

Walking through Mawsmai Cave offers a completely different side of Meghalaya's natural beauty. Visitors can explore naturally carved limestone passages, narrow tunnels, and unique rock formations that have developed over thousands of years. The Mawsmai Cave is easy to explore and suits both families and adventure enthusiasts for Meghalaya caving experiences.

Visit Nohkalikai Falls Viewpoint

Watching Nohkalikai Falls from the main viewpoint is one of the highlights of any Cherrapunji itinerary. The viewpoint overlooks dramatic cliffs, lush valleys, and the towering waterfall, offering excellent opportunities for photography. Depending on the season, visitors can witness either powerful monsoon flows or clear panoramic valley views.

Visit Seven Sisters Falls

Seven Sisters Falls is one of the best places to experience Meghalaya's famous waterfall landscapes. During the rainy season, seven distinct streams cascade down the cliff together, creating an unforgettable sight. The viewpoint also offers expansive views of the surrounding valleys stretching towards the plains of Bangladesh.

Experience a Jeep Safari at Kaziranga National Park

Many longer Cherrapunji travel package itineraries combine Meghalaya with a Kaziranga tour package, where a jeep safari offers opportunities to spot the famous one-horned rhinoceros, elephants, wild buffaloes, deer and several species of birds. It adds a wildlife experience that complements Meghalaya's waterfalls and mountain landscapes.
