Breakfast

Wake up early in the morning and start our trek to the Double Decker Root Bridge & Rainbow falls.

The hike from Tyrna to Nongriat is a bit steep with around 3500 steps to reach the Double Decker Living Root Bridge, the walk is refreshingly green, once you reach you will forget all your fatigue. The living root bridge is a sight to behold. It takes generations to build these bridges.

Those who can will head towards Rainbow falls. It’s a 1.5 hour hike to reach the falls.

There are small secluded water bodies on the way to Rainbow falls which are perfect for a refreshing dip.

We trek back to Tyrna by evening and return back to our cozy stay and comfort of our beds after a long and tiring trek.

After breakfast check out of the hotels and visit Mawsmai Caves. You do not have to be a professional spelunker to get a taste of Meghalaya’s cave systems. You do have to squeeze around and crawl which adds to the fun of cave exploration.

We then visit Nohkalikai Falls – the tallest plunge waterfall in India and then mov towards Mawlynnong

Mawlynnong – it won the award for cleanest village in Asia in 2003.

Afterwards we visit Dawki to see the India – Bangladesh Border.

We then head towards Shnongpdeng  to camp besides the Umngot River. The day ends with bonfire besides the River. Overnight Camping

Breakfast

You all would have seen the images of the crystal-clear waters of Umngot River. The water is clear, you can peer into the bottom and count the stones – that is how the Umngot River can be described during the peak pre-monsoon, autumn, and winter seasons. Now it’s our time to go for a boat ride on this river. You can also opt for other adventure activities like for cliff jumping, snorkelling, kayaking etc.

There is also a bridge that spans the Umngot River and allows for fantastic pictures and perspectives

We then visit Phe phe Waterfall on our way to Shillong. Phe phe Waterfall is one of the most scenic waterfalls in Meghalaya.

We reach Shillong by evening, freshen up and go explore some of Shillong’s nightlife on our last night.

Just came back from my trip to Meghalaya with WS yesterday and I must say it was one of the best travel experiences that I've had. Doesn't matter if you're solo and joining a group of strangers or travelling with your own group of friends with WS, the team will make sure you have an amazing experience. Kudos to our trip lead, Saurabh for being so calm, friendly and planning everything so well. Met some amazing people on this journey who are now good friends. We didn't realise how quickly the days passed on this trip.. but i guess that's what happens when you are truly enjoying it. Look forward to many such adventures with WS!

My second experience with Wandering souls, after my first trip to Kedarkantha, I thought they couldn’t do any better, but this trip to Meghalaya topped it, a beautifully organised event with all itinerary well defined and explained before and followed to the dot.
Meghalaya backpacking and Kedarkantha both are highly recommended
