3 Days Guwahati & Shillong Tour with Cherrapunji
This 3 Days Guwahati and Shillong Tour is a compact Northeast India itinerary combining one of Assam’s most important pilgrimage sites with the landscapes of Meghalaya. The journey begins in Guwahati with a visit to Kamakhya Temple before travelling to Shillong.
The second day is reserved for a full-day excursion to Cherrapunji, while the final morning includes Umiam Lake before returning to Guwahati. This route is suitable for travellers looking for a short Guwahati Shillong Cherrapunji tour without adding longer wildlife or remote-road sectors.
Because this is only a three-day programme, the itinerary keeps the first and final days practical and avoids adding too many city stops around Guwahati or Shillong.
Kamakhya Temple is an active pilgrimage site. Darshan access and waiting time can vary with festivals, religious events, crowds and local temple arrangements.
Cherrapunji’s waterfalls and viewpoints are seasonal. Rain, mist and cloud can affect visibility, while waterfall volume varies considerably through the year.
Travellers with more time can combine this short route with Assam wildlife destinations or browse other Meghalaya tour packages.

- Visit Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati.
- Travel from Assam into the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.
- Stay in Shillong for two nights.
- Enjoy a full-day excursion to Cherrapunji.
