The Shillong – Dawki One Day Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Meghalaya’s natural beauty in a short but unforgettable journey. Starting from the “Scotland of the East” — Shillong, and heading toward the India–Bangladesh border town Dawki, this trip takes you through mesmerizing landscapes, mountain streams, and the world-famous Umngot River.
Begin your journey early morning from Shillong, driving through lush green hills and charming Khasi villages. En route, stop at Elephant Falls — one of Shillong’s most loved waterfalls, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before continuing towards Dawki.
Arrive at Dawki, home to the stunning Umngot River, famous for its crystal-clear water that makes boats appear as if they’re floating in the air. Enjoy a boat ride across the serene river and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding cliffs and forests.
You can also visit the India–Bangladesh border point nearby and capture a few memorable photos.
After Dawki, visit Mawlynnong, known as Asia’s Cleanest Village. Walk through the bamboo pathways, visit the Living Root Bridge, and interact with the friendly locals to experience authentic Khasi culture.
After an eventful day exploring waterfalls, rivers, and villages, drive back to Shillong by evening — a perfect end to your refreshing day trip.
