Welcome to Meghalaya – The Abode of Clouds

Meghalaya, nestled in the heart of Northeast India, is a paradise of misty mountains, lush green valleys, crystal-clear rivers, and living root bridges. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant tribal culture, Meghalaya offers a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and serenity. From the rain-soaked charm of Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong—Asia’s cleanest village—to the tranquil lakes and rolling hills of Shillong, every corner of this beautiful state promises an unforgettable experience. Whether you're seeking thrilling treks, cascading waterfalls, or peaceful hideaways, Meghalaya is a dream destination waiting to be explored.

The trail descends through Sohsarat village with steep steps in certain stretches, followed by a forest path leading to the bridge. Steps may be slippery during monsoon due to moss growth, requiring extra caution. After spending time at the bridge, trek back to the starting point and return to the hotel.
