Early morning jeep safaris through mist-covered grasslands reveal nature at its purest.

The calls of wild birds, the sight of elephants crossing the marsh, and the freshness of the air create a sense of connection with the earth. This stop in the journey celebrates coexistence between humans and nature in its truest form.
Shillong: The Gentle Charm of the Hills
Perched among rolling pine-covered hills, Shillong, known as the ‘Scotland of the East,’ offers a peaceful escape. The city enchants with its clean streets, gentle rains, and warm Khasi hospitality. Waterfalls like Elephant Falls, scenic spots like Shillong Peak, and leisurely walks around Ward’s Lake reflect its relaxed rhythm. Music flows through the city’s veins—local cafes and streets often resonate with soulful melodies. Shillong’s local cuisine and colorful markets showcase the artistic side of Meghalaya. Every corner of the city reflects a blend of tradition and modernity, making it a fitting finale to a journey through India’s greenest heartland.
