What Affects the Cost of an Assam Meghalaya Trip?
The cost of an Assam Meghalaya tour package depends on several practical factors. Understanding these can help you choose an itinerary that fits both your budget and travel style.
Travel Season
The months between October and April are the most popular for visiting Assam and Meghalaya. During this period, hotels, flights, and safari bookings are in high demand, resulting in higher package prices. Travelling during the monsoon or shoulder season often brings better deals, although outdoor activities may depend on weather conditions.
Accommodation Category
Budget hotels and homestays make the trip more affordable, while premium resorts overlooking valleys or luxury wildlife lodges near Kaziranga can significantly increase the overall cost.
Wildlife Safaris and Activities
Experiences such as jeep safaris in Kaziranga National Park, boating on the Umngot River, cave exploration, and guided treks are some of the highlights of the region. Including more activities naturally increases the package cost.
Trip Duration
A short 4- or 5-day itinerary generally covers Shillong and Cherrapunji, whereas longer trips that include Kaziranga, Dawki, Mawlynnong, and offbeat destinations require more accommodation, transfers, and sightseeing.
Transportation
Private cabs offer greater comfort and flexibility but are more expensive than shared departures. Since most sightseeing in Meghalaya is done by road, transportation plays an important role in the overall budget.
Customisation
Adding premium hotels, private sightseeing, extra nights, or personalised experiences can increase the package cost. Our travel experts can customise the itinerary based on your preferred destinations and budget.
Top Places to Visit on Your Assam Meghalaya Trip
- Shillong: Popularly called the “Scotland of the East", Shillong is famous for its colonial-era charm and scenic viewpoints. Here, you can explore Ward’s Lake, Elephant Falls, Shillong Peak, and Police Bazaar.
- Cherrapunji: One of the wettest places on Earth, Cherrapunji attracts visitors with its Nohkalikai Falls, Seven Sisters Falls, Mawsmai Cave, and the famous living root bridges.
- Kaziranga National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Assam, famous for its population of one-horned rhinoceroses, rich biodiversity, and exciting wildlife safari experiences.
- Dawki: Dawki is renowned for the crystal-clear Umngot River, the historic suspension bridge and riverside camping spots.
Best Things to Do in Your Assam Meghalaya Holiday Trip
- Wildlife Safari in Kaziranga National Park (Approx. INR 4,000 to 5,500 per jeep): Go on a jeep safari through diverse wildlife habitats and explore rare species like the one-horned rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal tiger.
- Trek to the Nongriat Double-Decker Living Root Bridge (Free; local guide charges approximately INR 1,000 to 2,000 per group if hired): Descend through dense forests and suspension bridges to witness this natural engineering marvel created by Khasi communities.
- Boat Ride in Dawki (Approx. INR 500 to 1,000 per boat): Glide across the transparent Umngot River while enjoying views of surrounding hills and emerald-green waters.
- Trek to Laitlum Canyons (Free): Hike through steep ridges and rocky cliffs to witness sweeping valley views and dramatic sunset landscapes.
The contrast between Assam's wildlife and Meghalaya's waterfalls is often what makes this itinerary memorable. As Tamanna Das, a traveller from Kolkata, who booked the Mesmerising Meghalaya package, noted after her trip, "Kaziranga rhino safari was the highlight and the one-horned rhinos were incredible up close. Cherrapunji waterfalls were at full flow."

Best Time to Visit Assam and Meghalaya
Assam and Meghalaya can be visited throughout the year, with each season offering a different travel experience. The ideal time depends on whether you want pleasant weather, lush waterfalls, wildlife sightings, or fewer crowds.
October to April (Best Time)
This is the most popular season for visiting both states. Pleasant temperatures, clear skies, and comfortable road conditions make it ideal for sightseeing, wildlife safaris in Kaziranga, trekking to the Living Root Bridges, and exploring destinations like Shillong, Dawki, and Cherrapunji.
May to June
Early summer remains comfortable in the hills of Meghalaya, making it a good time for families and couples looking for a peaceful holiday before the monsoon arrives. Waterfalls begin gaining volume, while Kaziranga continues to offer rewarding wildlife experiences before the park closes for the rainy season.
June to September (Monsoon)
Meghalaya transforms into one of India's greenest landscapes during the monsoon. Waterfalls flow at their fullest, valleys become lush, and the scenery is spectacular. However, heavy rainfall can occasionally affect road travel and outdoor activities. This season is best suited for travellers who enjoy nature and do not mind flexible travel plans.

Food, Shopping & Practical Tips for Travellers
- Start sightseeing early in the morning, as hill routes in Assam and Meghalaya often become foggy by evening.
- Book your Kaziranga safari slots in advance, especially during peak travel months. Opt for early morning rides since they offer better chances for wildlife sightings.
- Carry comfortable trekking shoes while visiting waterfalls, caves, and living root bridges.
- Mobile network coverage may become weak in remote areas around Cherrapunji and wildlife areas near Kaziranga, so download maps in advance.
- Pack light woollens, rain gear, and quick-dry clothing, as weather conditions can change quickly across Meghalaya's hills and Assam's greener landscapes.
- Try local flavours such as Assamese Khaar, Masor Tenga, Jadoh, Dohneiiong, smoked pork dishes, bamboo shoot preparations, and freshly brewed Assam tea for a regional culinary experience.
- Shop for authentic Assam tea, bamboo handicrafts, handwoven shawls, spices, local honey, and handmade soaps at Police Bazaar and local village markets.

Why Choose Thrillophilia
Why Visit Assam Meghalaya
Lazily sprawled like one prehistoric behemoth, Assam is very well located along the length of the Brahmaputra valley. It is one of the biggest and definitely the most accessible of the different Northeastern States of India. A cuisine with distinctive flavors and aromas, string of Hindu temples that top the list of attractions, no requirement of permits, a welcoming and hospitable population of the locals, vibrant artistic heritage and a picturesque and artistic site beautified with distinctive dance forms, Assam is visually and culturally a little ahead of the other six sister states. The stereotypical landscape of Assam is a serene canvas of golden and green painted from the surrounding rice fields and the aromatic tea estates that are framed well in the length. Further, the highlands of Meghalaya and Nagaland and the blue mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, complete this splendid scenery.
Despite the culture and linguistic imbricates from the neighboring states of Odisha and West Bengal, Assam has very well preserved its sovereignty and identity. The mekhola sadar which is a traditional dress for women of Assam and the gamosa which is a white and red scarf that is worn around the neck by the men of the Assam are the visible manifestos of the identity and the regional costume of the state. On the other hand, the flavoured fish tenga, is the regional culinary cuisine here. With all this and more preserved in this small state of India, Assam indeed is a quintessential tourist attraction.
