Cherry Blossom Music Festival with Meghalaya Tour

Your journey begins at Guwahati Airport, where you’ll be greeted by our local
representative. From here, embark on a scenic drive through rolling hills and pine
forests as you make your way to Shillong (approx. 3.5 hours). En route, pause at the
stunning Umiam Lake, a tranquil reservoir surrounded by forested hills — perfect for
your first photo-op in the Northeast.

Arriving in Shillong, check in to your boutique hotel, ideally located near the buzzing
town centre. Spend the evening at your leisure — perhaps strolling through Police
Bazaar, sampling Khasi street food, or sipping hot tea in one of the local cafés.

Start your morning with a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore some of
Shillong’s cultural landmarks. Visit the serene Ward’s Lake, the neo-Gothic Cathedral of
Mary Help of Christians, and the fascinating Don Bosco Museum, which offers a bird’seye view of the city from its skywalk.
Post lunch (on your own), get ready for the highlight of the day — The Meghalaya
Cherry Blossom Music Festival. We’ll transfer you to the festival ground where the
celebration unfolds with indie rock performances, regional music, food stalls, and
cultural displays, all under a canopy of blooming cherry trees. Enjoy the show with your
general access pass, and return to your hotel late evening with memories of a night
buzzing with rhythm and color.

Today, we dive deeper into the natural beauty of Meghalaya. After breakfast, drive to
the spectacular Laitlum Canyon, a dramatic Cliffside offering panoramic views of mistcovered valleys — one of the most Instagrammed spots in the state. En route back, stop
by Sweet Falls and visit hillside cafés surrounded by cherry blossoms in full bloom.
In the evening, we revisit the festival venue for another unforgettable evening of music
and celebration. Let the rhythms take over as you mingle with fellow travelers and locals
under a starlit sky

Today offers you the flexibility to explore Meghalaya your way, with two captivating fullday excursions to choose from:

Option 1: Cherrapunji – Land of Waterfalls & Caves
Venture into the cloud-kissed hills of Cherrapunji, where you’ll witness the majestic
Nohkalikai Falls, walk through the limestone wonder of Mawsmai Caves, and stop at
the iconic Living Root Bridge in Riwai. A day of dramatic landscapes and natural marvels.

Option 2: Dawki & Mawlynnong – Rivers & Villages
Head south towards the Bangladesh border to discover Dawki’s crystal-clear Umngot
River (optional boat ride) and explore the flower-lined lanes of Mawlynnong, famed as
Asia’s cleanest village. Visit the Skywalk for sweeping valley views and see the
mysterious Balancing Rock.
Return to Shillong by evening.

After a relaxed breakfast, check out and drive back to Guwahati Airport. Flights are
recommended after 3:00 PM to ensure a comfortable journey. As you leave the pinkhued hills of Meghalaya behind, you carry with you not just pictures — but memories of
music, mist, and magical landscapes.
