7 Days Kaziranga, Majuli & Shillong Tour
6 Nights / 7 Days
Guwahati · Kaziranga · Jorhat · Majuli · Shillong · Cherrapunji · Umiam Lake · Guwahati
Tour Overview
This 7 Days Kaziranga, Majuli and Shillong Tour brings together three of the most distinctive experiences in Northeast India: wildlife in Kaziranga National Park, river-island culture in Majuli and the hill landscapes of Shillong and Cherrapunji.
Starting from Guwahati, the journey first moves east to Kaziranga for safari experiences, then continues through Jorhat to Majuli for satras, village culture and Brahmaputra landscapes. The final section crosses into Meghalaya for Shillong, Cherrapunji and Umiam Lake, making this a strong Assam and Meghalaya 7-day itinerary.
Kaziranga safaris depend on park opening, permits, weather, forest regulations and the assigned range. Wildlife sightings are natural and can never be guaranteed.
Majuli ferry operations depend on Brahmaputra river conditions, weather and local schedules. Crossing points and departure times can change, so the itinerary should remain flexible.
The Jorhat to Shillong sector is a long overland transfer and is best kept mostly travel-focused. This helps preserve enough time for a proper Cherrapunji excursion the following day.
Cherrapunji’s waterfall volume and viewpoints vary by season, while rain and mist may affect visibility.
Tour Highlights:
- Enjoy wildlife safaris in Kaziranga National Park.
- Travel from Kaziranga through Jorhat to Majuli Island.
- Explore Majuli’s satras, villages and traditional culture.
- Cross from Assam into the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.
- Stay in Shillong and visit Cherrapunji.
- Stop at Umiam Lake before returning to Guwahati.
