On this meticulously curated Meghalaya walking holiday one gets to see a few popular sights, trek through quaint, offbeat locations and also indulge in some adventure activities. Our trip starts with a visit to the Pynursla region which is home to some of the best living-root bridges in Meghalaya. During the two days we spend in this region, we shall trek through idyllic villages , cross several living roots bridges and indulge in adventure activities at Shnongpdeng, a picture-postcard village by the crystal-clear waters of river Umgnot.
The next region that we cover is Cherrapunjee. We spend some time in the Nongriat area which is home to one of the two double-decker living roots bridge in Meghalaya (and the world!). We trek through lovely tropical evergreen rainforests of this area to visit a couple of amazing waterfalls.
Lastly, we shall visit Pobitora wildlife sanctuary near Guwahati which is home to a healthy population of the endangered one-horned rhino.
