Itinerary
Arrival, Guwahati Orientation & Evening by the Brahmaputra
Arrive at Guwahati Airport/Railway Station. Meet and transfer to your hotel. After check-in, enjoy a relaxed orientation drive visiting Kamakhya Temple (time permitting) and the Assam State Museum. In the evening, take a short stroll along the Brahmaputra River or opt for a sunset river cruise (seasonal).
Tip: Flights to Guwahati arrive throughout the day; if you have an afternoon arrival, plan lighter activities to acclimatize.
Transfer to Shillong — Umiam Lake & Local Sights
After breakfast, drive to Shillong (approx. 3 hours). En route, stop at Umiam Lake for photos and short breaks. On arrival, check in and explore Shillong Peak and Elephant Falls. Spend the evening at Police Bazaar exploring local handicrafts and cafés.
Family-friendly walks and easy sightseeing to adjust to hill weather.
Cherrapunji (Sohra): Waterfalls & Limestone Caves
Drive to Cherrapunji (Sohra) — one of the wettest places on Earth. Visit the dramatic Nohkalikai Falls, Seven Sisters Falls viewpoint and explore Mawsmai Cave and Mawmluh Cave (subject to accessibility). Enjoy panoramic viewpoints such as Dainthlen Falls and Eco Park.
Note: Cave interiors can be damp and slippery; wear sturdy footwear and carry a flashlight.
Mawlynnong & Dawki: Clean Village, Living Roots & Crystal River
Head to Mawlynnong — renowned as the 'Cleanest Village in Asia'. Walk the village lanes, visit the Sky View Tower and interact with local Khasi families. Later, proceed to Dawki (Umngot River) for a transparent-water boat ride to the Bangladesh border point, admiring riverbed clarity and limestone banks.
Tip: Boat rides depend on river level — best from October to May. Carry light rainwear in monsoon months.
Drive to Kaziranga via Guwahati — Evening at Leisure
After an early breakfast, drive towards Kaziranga National Park. En route you may pass through Guwahati for lunch and a short break. Arrive at Kaziranga by evening, check into your lodge/resort and relax. Enjoy a traditional Assamese dinner and a cultural performance if available.
Travel note: Long driving day — recommended to start early and carry snacks and water for children.
Kaziranga Safari & Tea Estate Visit
Start with an early morning jeep or jeep/elephant safari (as per park zone and season) into Kaziranga National Park to spot the Indian one-horned rhinoceros, wild elephants, swamp deer and diverse birdlife. Return to the resort for breakfast and rest. Later in the day, drive to a nearby Assam tea estate (near Jorhat/Mariani area) for a guided walk through plantations, a tea-processing demonstration and tasting.
Important: Safari seats are limited — pre-booking is essential. Carry binoculars and sun protection.
Departure via Guwahati — End of Tour
After breakfast, check out and drive back to Guwahati for your onward flight or train. If time permits, visit Hajo (a confluence of Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic traditions) or local markets for last-minute shopping. Transfer to airport/railway station and depart with memorable experiences from your North-East Family Retreat tour package.
