Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: The best time to visit Guwahati and Shillong is between October and April when the weather is pleasant (10°C to 22°C), ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and exploring caves. If you want to see the waterfalls of Cherrapunji in full flow, the monsoon season (May to September) offers breathtaking views, though travel times may vary due to heavy rain.

Answer: A 5-Day / 4-Night package is optimal for covering key highlights without rushing. It gives you 1 day for Guwahati sightseeing, 1 full day for Shillong culture and Umiam Lake, 1 day for a Cherrapunji waterfall and cave excursion, and comfortable travel buffers for arrival/departure.

Answer: Standard 1-day excursions to Cherrapunji cover easy-to-access single living root bridges or local viewpoints. The Double Decker Living Root Bridge at Nongriat requires a trek of over 3,000 steps (5–6 hours total). If you wish to undertake the Nongriat trek, we recommend adding an extra night stay in Cherrapunji, which can be customized in this package.
