Of Ancient Trails and Hidden Caves

With uncountable waterfalls, over 1500 caves and around 100 root bridges, Meghalaya has proven itself, like we always say, to be one of the best natural amusement parks in the world! With it’s natural beauty and warm culture, it has come to be a year round destination for travellers from around the world. Yet, as the saying goes, “there is a season for all things,”, and each season in Meghalaya brings its own unique and awe-inspiring experiences.

As autumn sets in, Meghalaya’s landscape transforms into a mesmerising canvas adorned with a vivid palette of colours. The monsoon waters recede, leaving behind pristine and transparent streams, natural pools, and waterfalls.

The vivid hues of the surrounding foliage seamlessly merge with the crystalline waters, creating a breathtaking panorama, fit to be a painting in a museum of magical moments.

In this chapter, join us as we venture through the magical Khasi Hills (and a touch of the Jaintia Hills) with our focus on the hidden gems of the region. Prepare for dreamy hikes, ancient cave explorations*, dips in crystal clear waters, and so much more! Whether it be the lesser known living root bridges of the state, or the fossils from eons ago, there’s a lot to look forward to in this action packed week!
