Duration 4 nights 5 days

An active holiday in Northeast. Explore the stunning natural limestone caves and enjoy the elephant & jeep safari in Kaziranga - a World Heritage Site, and a home to 75% of the world’s total population of the great Indian One Horned Rhinoceros.

    Day 1: Guwahati – Cherrapunje (1300M) 185 kms/05 hrs

    Reach Guwahati airport and drive to Cherrapunjee– once the heaviest rainfall area in the world. The drive will give us a spectacular view of deep gorges and the rolling hills luxurious with tropical vegetation that boast an innumerable variety of ferns, moss and orchids. On arrival check in at hotel.

    Day 2: Cherrapunjee - Full Day Caving

    Meghalaya has more than 5000 caves out of which only 600 have been mapped till date. The Krem Mawmluh cave we take you to is a labyrinth of routes totaling about 7 kms.
    We reach Cherrapunjee, put on overalls and boots and with carbide lamps firmly put on head, we are all set for our adventure. We get into the cave through a small opening. Once inside, it is a different world altogether. We walk on sand and rocks, squeeze ourselves though narrow openings, sometimes on all fours. You will be able to see the impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations and water pools. Open your lunch hamper in one of the sandy chambers in the cave or finish caving and open the hamper outside on the rocks under the sun.
    Those not keen on caving, go for a sightseeing trip of Cherrapunjee.
