Frequently Asked Questions

October to May is the best time, with clear skies. Dawki's river is at its clearest in the dry winter months, while the monsoon brings dramatic waterfalls.

The double-decker living root bridge at Nongriat involves around 3,500 steps down and back. It is moderately challenging; we can suggest easier alternatives like the Riwai single-root bridge.

Shillong is about 100 km (a scenic 3-hour drive) from Guwahati airport. We arrange the transfer as part of your Meghalaya package.

Absolutely — misty hills, waterfalls, clean villages and the Dawki river make Meghalaya one of the North East's most romantic destinations.
