Day 1 — Guwahati to Shillong
Travel from Guwahati to Shillong and keep stops selective. Umiam Lake can fit naturally on the arrival route when daylight and arrival time allow. Overnight Shillong.
3 DAY ROUTE
Meghalaya 3 Day Itinerary
A short Meghalaya trip works best when you focus on Shillong and Sohra instead of trying to cover every famous destination.
Day 2 — Shillong to Sohra
Start early for Sohra and choose a balanced mix of viewpoints, waterfalls and caves. Avoid stacking several long walks into the same day. Overnight Sohra or return to Shillong according to the next day’s departure plan.
Day 3 — Return to Guwahati
Use the morning for one nearby stop only if the departure schedule allows it, then keep a sensible buffer for hill traffic, meals and airport or railway check-in.
What to leave out
Dawki, Shnongpdeng and the Jaintia Hills usually make a three-day route too rushed when Guwahati arrival and departure are included. Add them only by extending the trip.
