7 Days Assam with Meghalaya Tour
This 7 Days Assam and Meghalaya Tour combines the wildlife of Kaziranga National Park with the hill landscapes of Shillong, Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong. Starting from Guwahati, the journey first explores Kaziranga before crossing into Meghalaya.
The itinerary works well for travellers searching for a Kaziranga Shillong Cherrapunji tour, 7 days Assam Meghalaya itinerary or a compact Northeast India journey that balances wildlife, waterfalls, village landscapes and cultural sightseeing.
Kaziranga safari operations depend on permits, park opening, weather and forest regulations. Wildlife sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed.
The Kaziranga to Shillong transfer is one of the longer road sectors in the itinerary, so Day 3 is kept primarily as a travel day.
Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong are highly weather-sensitive. Rain and mist can affect viewpoints, walking conditions and waterfall visibility.
Kamakhya Temple is an active pilgrimage site, and darshan timings can vary with crowds, festivals and temple arrangements.
Tour Highlights:
- Enjoy a wildlife safari in Kaziranga National Park.
- Travel from Assam into the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.
- Stay in Shillong and explore Cherrapunji.
- Visit Mawlynnong and a nearby living root bridge area.
- Return to Guwahati through Shillong.
- Visit Kamakhya Temple before departure.
