Day 1 — Guwahati to Shillong
Travel through Umiam and settle into Shillong. Keep the first day light when the flight or train arrives later in the day.
6 DAY ROUTE
Meghalaya 6 Day Itinerary
Six days gives a first-time traveller room for the classic circuit plus one slower experience, trekking day or Jaintia Hills extension.
Day 2 — Shillong and nearby sights
Plan a compact city and outskirts loop. Choose stops based on traffic, opening hours, weather and the group’s walking comfort.
Day 3 — Shillong to Sohra
Move to Sohra and cover a sensible mix of waterfalls, caves and viewpoints rather than racing through a long checklist.
Day 4 — Sohra experience day
Use this as a flexible day for Nongriat trekking, additional Sohra sightseeing or a slower family route. Match the plan to fitness and rainfall.
Day 5 — Mawlynnong and Dawki
Travel toward Mawlynnong, Dawki or Shnongpdeng. Check current river clarity and local conditions before making boating the focus of the day.
Day 6 — Guwahati departure
Leave with sufficient buffer for the hill drive, meal stops and check-in. An early flight may require the final night closer to Guwahati.
