About this trip
Tour overview
Four days is ideal if you want both signature regions — Cherrapunji and Dawki–Mawlynnong — each on its own day, without the extra cost of a 5 or 6-day plan. You arrive, do the two big days, and head back relaxed.
You travel by private cab throughout, so the pace is yours. Because Cherrapunji and Dawki lie in opposite directions from Shillong, this plan keeps them on separate days rather than cramming both together.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is 4 days enough for Meghalaya?
Yes — 3 Nights / 4 Days comfortably covers a full Cherrapunji day and a full Dawki–Mawlynnong day from Guwahati. Add a day if you also want the Nongriat Double Decker trek.
How much does a 4-day Meghalaya tour cost?
Indicative pricing starts from around ₹15,499 per person on twin-sharing with hotels, private cab and daily breakfast. The final quote depends on dates, hotel category, group size and vehicle.
What is the difference between the 4-day and 5-day plans?
The 5-day adds a Shillong local sightseeing day (and optionally a night in Cherrapunji). The 4-day keeps just the two big region days plus the arrival and departure transfers.
Can I customise it?
Yes — swap in the Nongriat trek, Krang Suri Falls or extra Shillong time. Use our free AI itinerary builder or tell us your preferences.
