Discover the magic of Meghalaya’s misty landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and living root bridges — all in a single, unforgettable day trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji.
The Shillong – Cherrapunji One Day Tour offers travelers a glimpse into Meghalaya’s most captivating sights. From the charming hill station of Shillong, often called the Scotland of the East, to the rain-soaked cliffs and caves of Cherrapunji — this journey is a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty.
Cherrapunji, officially known as Sohra, is one of the wettest places on Earth. Its rolling green hills, mist-covered valleys, and thundering waterfalls make it one of India’s most scenic destinations — ideal for day-trippers seeking a refreshing getaway.
Your journey begins early morning from Shillong. Enjoy a comfortable drive through pine-covered hills and winding roads. Along the way, visit Elephant Falls or Shillong Peak, where you can take in panoramic views of the entire city — a perfect photo opportunity before you head deeper into Meghalaya’s countryside.

Enjoy a local-style lunch at a nearby café and take in the cool, misty air that gives Cherrapunji its unique charm.
Before heading back, make a stop at Riwai Village near Mawlynnong (if time permits) or explore the Single Decker Living Root Bridge — an incredible example of Khasi bioengineering, where tree roots are woven over decades to form natural bridges.
By evening, drive back to Shillong with unforgettable memories of waterfalls, caves, and clouds. This one-day trip will leave you enchanted by the serene beauty of Meghalaya’s hills.
