Most Meghalaya packages cover the same four places: Shillong, Cherrapunji (Sohra), Dawki and Mawlynnong. What changes is how rushed the days are and what you add. Here is what each trip length really covers, what it costs with and without hotels, and which one suits a first visit, a family, a couple or a trekker.
Quick answer
For a first visit, choose a 5-day Meghalaya package: it covers Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki and Mawlynnong without rushing. With Tour Meghalaya it costs ₹26,800 per person with 3★ hotels or ₹22,100 with homestays, for 2 people sharing a room, including a private car and driver for all 5 days, breakfast, and Guwahati airport pickup and drop. With only 3 days you can still see the main sights (from ₹12,600 per person). Add a sixth day if you want the Double Decker living root bridge trek. Car and driver without hotels is ₹26,550 for 5 days.

Which package is best for first-time visitors?
Five days. Day 1 is the drive up from Guwahati with Umiam Lake on the way, two days go to Cherrapunji and its waterfalls and caves, one to Dawki and Mawlynnong, and the last to Shillong or Laitlum before the drive back. Nothing is rushed and you are never in the car past dark.
Four days covers the same places with one long day. Three days works if that is all you have: Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki, with early starts.
Which package includes Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki and Mawlynnong?
Every package from 3 days up includes all four. In 3 days Dawki and Mawlynnong are one long day trip from Shillong; from 4 days the pace eases, and in 5 days there is time for a night in Cherrapunji. The 5-day package with these four places is ₹26,800 per person with 3★ hotels, or ₹26,550 for the car and driver alone.
What is the best package for a family with children or elderly parents?
Five or six days at a gentle pace, with an Ertiga (6 passengers, ₹6,000 a day) or an Innova Crysta (7 passengers, ₹6,880 a day) so nobody is squeezed. Keep to the places with short, flat walks: Umiam Lake, Elephant Falls, the Cherrapunji viewpoints, Mawlynnong and the boat at Dawki. Skip the Double Decker root bridge trek (about 3,500 steps each way) or let the fit members go with a guide while the others rest.
For 4 people in 2 rooms with an Ertiga, a 5-day package with 3★ hotels is ₹19,800 per person; for 6 people in 3 rooms with an Innova it is ₹17,700 per person.
What is the best package for a couple or a honeymoon?
Five days with better rooms: a 4★ package is ₹41,900 per person, with a night by the lake or in Cherrapunji for the early-morning views. For resorts, a concierge, a photographer or a private dinner, ask for a private journey; those are planned and priced per trip.
Should I book a package with hotels, or only the car and driver?
Book only the car and driver (₹5,310 a day for a Dzire) if you like choosing your own hotels or already have them. Book the package with hotels if you want one price and one team responsible for the rooms, the car and the plan, with the hotels placed in the right towns for each day. The car and driver are identical in both.
Groups of 8 to 12 travel in a Tempo Traveller at ₹14,000 a day, or in two cars.
