Itinerary
Arrival and Transfer to Shillong
Arrival at Guwahati Airport / Railway Station in the morning. Meet your local representative and drive ~3 hours to Shillong. Check in to the hotel, rest briefly and then enjoy an easy afternoon of sightseeing: Ward's Lake, Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians, and the viewpoint at Shillong Peak for a panoramic sunset. Evening free to explore the lively Police Bazaar market. Acclimatize, hydrate and keep to light activity on arrival day.
Dawki River Kayak & Mawlynnong (Cleanest Village)
Drive to Dawki (Umngot River) for a guided river kayak experience on crystal-clear waters — ideal for beginners and families. After kayaking, visit the nearby Mawlynnong Village (Asia's cleanest village) and the living root bridges in the area. Return to Shillong for overnight. River kayaking is weather dependent; alternative scenic boating will be provided if kayaking isn’t possible.
Transfer to Dzukou Valley and Trek In
Early drive towards Viswema / Kohima (trek start point). Begin the moderate trek into Dzukou Valley — famous for its rolling meadows, seasonal blooms and quiet alpine environment. Trek duration ~4–6 hours depending on pace. Set up camp and enjoy an evening around a campfire with mountain views. Camping kits and warm sleeping bags provided; nights can be cold — carry thermal layers.
Explore Dzukou Valley
Full day in Dzukou Valley to explore its trails, viewpoints and the valley’s iconic wildflower carpets (seasonal). Enjoy sunrise photography, short excursions to nearby ridgelines and a picnic lunch. Return to camp for a relaxed evening and stargazing. This day is designed for moderate trekking and nature walks; no previous high-altitude experience required.
Trek Out, Transfer to Dimapur and Fly to Bagdogra / Drive to Yuksom
Trek out of Dzukou Valley after breakfast and transfer to Dimapur. Board an evening flight (or road transfer depending on schedule) to Bagdogra / NJP. From Bagdogra, drive to Yuksom (or Pelling/Gangtok depending on flight timing) — the gateway for the Goecha La Intro. Check in to a mountain lodge. Long travel day; expect multiple transfers — early starts recommended.
Goecha La Intro — Short Trek & Himalayan Views
After acclimatization, undertake the Goecha La Intro: a graded day trek to a viewpoint offering sweeping views of high peaks including Kanchenjunga (weather permitting). This introductory alpine trek gives a taste of high-altitude trekking without committing to the full Goecha La route. Return to the lodge in the afternoon for rest and cultural interaction with local Sikkimese host communities. Carry your ID for internal permits; weather can change rapidly at altitude.
Sunrise View, Short Hike & Transfer to Bagdogra / Sevoke
Optional early-morning short hike for sunrise over the Himalaya. After breakfast, start the descent/drive towards Bagdogra / Sevoke, crossing scenic valleys and tea gardens. Check in at a transit hotel near the airport/railhead. Evening at leisure. This night is scheduled near your departure hub for an easy exit on Day 8.
Departures
Transfer to Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri Railway Station for your onward flights/trains. Trip concludes after breakfast. If you need an extended stay or airport transfers to Guwahati instead, ask our operations team for options.
