Meghalaya Cycling Tour

On arrival at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport of Guwahati, meet our representative and drive to the hill town of Shillong. After reaching here, transfer to your lodging for an overnight stay.

In the first leg of this Meghalaya cycling tour, take your bikes and ride to Mawphlang village. The forests of the region are considered sacred by the local people and are preserved by traditional religious sanction. After reaching here, head to a local farm, noteworthy for being completely eco-friendly, for an overnight stay.

Early morning, steer your bikes towards Mawsynram, a small village in the East Khasi Hill district of Meghalaya. It may not be as famous as Cherrapunjee, but it holds the current record for receiving the most amount of precipitation as rain. The village gets an average rainfall of about 467 inches annually. After spending some time here and enjoying the beautiful weather of the place, return to the farm in Mawphlang for an overnight stay.

Once the wettest place on earth, Cherrapunjee is the next destination on this Meghalaya cycling trip. Often called by its alternative name, Sohra, this village receives an annual rainfall of around 460 inches. After spending some time here, travel to the village of Laitkynsew. Staying in a small establishment run by a local family presents a great opportunity to learn about the culture and traditions of the ethnic people.

In the morning, head out on a hike through the forest of the region. As you trek, cross the living root bridges that are constrained to this part of the world. The sight of the bridges suggests that nature has come out of its way to the aid of humans. After a leisurely on-foot excursion, we return to Laitkynsew for lunch. Willing participants can opt to explore Cherrapunjee on their bicycles, and enjoy the panoramic view of the Bangladeshi riverine plains below. Thereafter, return to your lodging for an overnight stay.

The next day of the Meghalaya cycling experience takes you to Mawlynnong. Replete with picturesque natural beauty, this place is dubbed the cleanest village in Asia. Also referred to as gods own garden, the village is the home of a matrilineal community of the Khasi tribe. Riding on the vacant forest roads and enjoying the breathtaking sight of nature, reach the village and stay overnight here.

In the last leg of this adventurous journey, travel to Shillong. Ride out of the village, and enjoy the sights of Indian hills and Bangladeshi plains. Also, glance at some mesmerising waterfalls along the way. Passing through the Dawki border outpost, travel to Jowai, which is the administrative headquarters of the West Jaintia Hills district. On arrival in Jowai, get off your bikes and board a car to travel all the way to Shillong. After, reaching Shillong, transfer to your lodging for an overnight stay.

Early in the morning, travel to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport of Guwahati, and board the flight for your onward journey.
