Itinerary
Pickup from Guwahati airport
Cherrapunji
3 nights stay
Day 1: Umiam Lake & Cherrapunji
Touchdown at Guwahati airport, meet up with your fellow Meghalayan explorers and get ready for a scenic ride through rugged mountains. We’ll make a photo stop at Umiam lake to make your friends back home jealous AF - before rolling into Cherrapunji. Get to know the squad over an included dinner, swapping stories and getting excited for the adventures to come.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Waterfall trek & Caving
Rise and shine! - it’s time for a morning trek to Wei Sadong waterfalls. A short 40 minute walk one way, we will be venturing through some holy sh*t worthy before we eventually reach the waterfalls! Take a dip in the crystal clear pool at the bottom or laze around the boulders. Then: we’ll head to Mawsmai Caves, try to turn yourself into jelly as we enter the caves and move through narrow twists and turns. Exiting from another end of the cave with a sense of accomplishment, this will definitely pump your adrenaline.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 3: Double Decker Living Root Bridge
You can’t do Meghalaya without the living root bridges, and today we are headed for one that puts all to shame. No lies, it's a tiresome 2-hour trek each way. But a dip in the freshwater pools and pictures on the Double Decker bridge will make it worth the pain. Trust us. Hiking back before the sun sets in, we’ll end the day with a much deserved delicious dinner. Ah, this is gonna be good!
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Transfer by van on day 4
Shnongpdeng (Dawki)
1 night stay
Day 4: Dawki River & Camping
Kickstart your day with a visit to Nohkalikai Falls - Tallest waterfall in India and 4th in the world. Yup, no biggie. Then it's goodbye Cherrapunjee and hello Dawki. But first, we will make a pit stop at Asia's cleanest village - Mawlynnong. Plaster your face to the window and soak up all the views as we make our way to our riverside camp for the night. Sound of rushing water, wind whistling through trees and a bonfire to dance around, it's a perfect place to spend the night with your Metanoia crew.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 5: Kayaking, Ziplining & Cliff-jumping
If Shnongpdeng had a Tinder profile it would read: fun-filled outdoor enthusiast – looking for a fellow adrenaline junkie to share adventures with. And be filled with pics of people throwing themselves off cliffs. Swiping right? Hell yes! Kayaking. Snorkelling, Cliff jumping. You want it, this place has it. And you’ve got a whole morning to embrace it all.

Meals: Breakfast
Day 6: Laitlum Grand Canyon & Party
Ok, nobody panic – the adventure is coming to a close. But we’re sure as hell not done yet! A picnic at Laitlum canyons (think Scottish Highlands) is on the agenda for the day. Back to Shillong, shop your heart out at colourful Police Bazar and later, get ready to give this trip the sendoff it deserves at tonight’s epic nightout!
Meals: Breakfast
Day 7: Guwahati Airport & Goodbyes
