Itinerary

Day1

Arrival & Shillong City Orientation

Arrive in Shillong (Guwahati to Shillong transfer can be arranged). Check in to your hotel and relax. Post-lunch, enjoy a gentle orientation tour of the city visiting Ward's Lake, Don Bosco Museum (time permitting), Elephant Falls and the bustling Police Bazar for shopping and local snacks. Evening at leisure to experience Shillong's café scene.

Tip: Early arrivals can visit Shillong Peak for panoramic views before checking in.

Day2

Cherrapunji — Waterfalls, Caves & Viewpoints

After breakfast, drive to Cherrapunji (Sohra) — one of the wettest places on earth. Full-day sightseeing includes Nohkalikai Falls, Seven Sisters Falls (Nohsngithiang), Mawsmai Cave (easy walk inside), Eco Park and the famous Dainthlen/Arwah Viewpoint. Enjoy scenic stops and photo opportunities at viewpoints and living root-fed landscapes. Return to Cherrapunji for overnight stay.

Note: Weather can be unpredictable in Cherrapunji — carry light rainwear and sturdy footwear.

Day3

Living Root Bridges Trek or Mawlynnong Village Visit

Choose between an adventurous but family-manageable trek to Nongriat & the Double Decker Living Root Bridge (down ~3500 steps and return via steps or alternate trails; allow 4–6 hours) or a relaxed cultural visit to Mawlynnong Village and the Balancing Rock with picnic options. Both experiences showcase traditional Khasi life and unique natural engineering.

Family-friendly option: If trekking with young children or elders, opt for Mawlynnong and short, scenic walks instead of the full Nongriat descent.

Day4

Leisure Morning & Departure

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and a short local walk in Shillong or Cherrapunji depending on your overnight location. Last-minute shopping at Police Bazar or a quick visit to any missed viewpoints. Transfer to Guwahati / Shillong drop-off for onward journey. End of the Shillong Weekend Getaway: Cherrapunji Falls & Living Root Bridges.

Amrit Ganguly

Every Hotel in North-East Was a Surprise

We had low expectations from the accommodations honestly, because North-East trips can be hit or miss with properties. But whatever TourGrids picked for us — from Gangtok to Tawang — every hotel was proper good. Clean rooms, decent views, breakfast included, no last-minute downgrades. My wife was genuinely impressed, which doesn't happen easily. The cab arrangements were equally solid. Same driver for most legs, punctual, comfortable vehicle, no random handoffs mid-trip. Transfers between states were pre-planned and the coordinator shared timing details a day before each leg. No confusion, no waiting around with luggage. We spoke maybe three times on call before booking and everything discussed was actually delivered. That part still surprises me.

Preeti Chawla

Our North-East Coordinator Replied at Every Hour

We were four friends traveling to North-East for the first time, and honestly none of us had any clue about how things work in that region — permits, connectivity, the whole thing. The coordinator TourGrids assigned us, Deepak, was available on WhatsApp practically round the clock. Every small doubt got answered before it became a problem. One evening our cab was running late and he sorted it on call within minutes, no drama. Hotels were proper good — nothing felt like a downgrade. The itinerary covered Meghalaya and Sikkim without feeling rushed. No hidden charges popped up at the end either, which was a relief. Genuinely felt like someone was looking out for us the entire trip.

Bhavya Suri

North-East Itinerary Built Around Our Pace

We had been going back and forth on the North-East for months, unsure where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, one call with their team changed everything. They asked the right questions — how many days, whether we wanted offbeat places, our budget — and came back with an itinerary that actually made sense for a couple like us. We tweaked a couple of things over WhatsApp and they adjusted without any fuss. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time throughout, and there were no surprise charges at the end. The coordinator was reachable the whole time. Planning something this detailed on our own would have taken weeks.

Shikha Parashar

North-East on a Budget, Zero Compromises

I had priced out a North-East trip on my own last year and it was getting complicated fast — different vendors for cabs, hotels scattered across booking sites, no one to call if something went wrong. TourGrids bundled everything into one package and it actually came out cheaper. Traveled with my husband for 8 days covering Meghalaya and Sikkim. Hotels were proper good — clean, well-located, nothing felt like a budget compromise. Meals, cabs, even the permits were sorted. Our coordinator was reachable on WhatsApp throughout and there were no surprise charges at the end. What you see in the quote is what you pay — that alone made it worth it.

Vaishali Pereddy

North-East Cabs and Stays Both Impressed Us

We did a North-East trip as a couple — Meghalaya, Kaziranga, and Majuli — and honestly the hotels TourGrids picked were proper good. Not just decent, but actually well-located with clean rooms and good breakfast. I was a little skeptical before booking because we had specific preferences, but the coordinator noted everything down on our WhatsApp call and got it right. The cab transfers between destinations were the part I was most worried about, given those roads, but the drivers were punctual and the vehicles were comfortable. No last-minute confusion, no being dropped at the wrong property. Everything was where it was supposed to be, when it was supposed to be.
