Shillong — 2 Nights / 3 Days Tour
Meghalaya · Hill capital — Shillong was the capital of undivided Assam and is now Meghalaya's, and it has a character quite unlike anywhere else in India — Khasi matrilineal society, a serious live-music culture that gave it the nickname the rock capital of India, and church spires rather than temple towers on the skyline. The town itself is congested and the traffic is worse than the size suggests; the pleasure is in the surroundings, particularly Umiam Lake on the way up from Guwahati and the Mawphlang sacred forest, where nothing may be removed, not even a leaf. Two nights, usually paired with Cherrapunji two hours south. This 2-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.

Questions
Package FAQs
Shillong or Cherrapunji as a base?
Shillong has the hotels and restaurants; Cherrapunji has the root bridges and waterfalls. Two nights in Shillong with a day trip south works, though staying a night at Cherrapunji lets you start the Nongriat trek at first light.
How do I reach Shillong?
Fly to Guwahati and drive roughly three hours. Shillong airport has very limited service, so most itineraries route through Guwahati.
