Cherrapunji — 1 Night / 2 Days Tour
Package ID: TG-IN-001351
Meghalaya · Hill town — Officially Sohra, and among the wettest inhabited places on earth — which is the paradox of visiting, because the rain that makes it famous also makes it invisible for much of the year. October to April is the window. The living root bridges are the reason to come: figs trained across streams by Khasi villagers over decades until the roots form a bridge strong enough to walk on, and still growing. The double-decker bridge at Nongriat involves around 3,500 steps down and the same back up, and it is a genuinely hard day that people routinely underestimate. The single-root bridges near Mawlynnong are far more accessible if that is beyond you. This 1-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Double-decker root bridge, Nongriat: ~3,500 steps each way. Genuinely strenuous — start at first light.

Hard. Around 3,500 steps down and the same back up, humid, with no shortcut once committed. Reasonable fitness is essential and we will say honestly if we think it is beyond your party.

June to September. It is among the wettest places on earth and the rain obscures the waterfalls it is famous for, while making the treks unsafe.
