Overview
Built for active travellers, this Meghalaya adventure focuses on the experiences that most tours rush past. You will trek down to Nongriat and spend the night in a village homestay beside the double-decker root bridge, with time to swim at Rainbow Falls' blue pools.
Climbing back up, you continue to Mawlynnong and then to Shnongpdeng for a night in a riverside camp, with snorkelling, kayaking and optional cliff jumping in the clear Umngot. The last morning brings a boat ride at Dawki before the drive back to Guwahati.
