December is always holiday time with most of the MNCs at Bangalore shutting down ensuring that you take proper breaks and rejuvenate yourself. My vacation planning this time was a last-minute affair. Thanks to Shyam and @Outdoers.in who made the trip possible. I got introduced with Shyam while I was browsing through some reviews on trip advisor and the name “Meghalaya -A walk in the Clouds” struck my eyes ..Few calls to Shyam and our 9 days itinerary was made . I didn’t even google the places in the itinerary. This was our first visit to that part of India???? too. So, we -3 Musketeers’ stuffed all our winter clothes (the temperature can go low as 6 ◦ C at some places) and if you are travelling from Bangalore (18-20 degrees) this temp will be super cold for you in the first few days till your body get adjusted. At airport we were welcomed by our Guide (Pankaj from Outdoers team and Nayan...ji the driver. They both were great company for us for the next 9 days. A true “Atithidevo Bhav “experience. When you drive from Guwahati through Shillong few things which will catch your eyes are clean roads, waste bins every nook and corner, even u see them on village roads and Maruthi cars (800 and Alto) black for taxies and mostly white for private care everywhere. I guess the people there are obsessed with Maruti brand and small cars …by the way their cars are super clean too???? 1.Our first stop was Langkawet – “The Retreat “welcomed us. It’s a remote resort tucked inside the Langkawet village with beautiful farms around. The misty morning walks on the small village roads is a real pleasure and truly mesmerizing experience. Another amazing thing about this place is the homemade hot hot food by Victor (the owner) and his team. We also tasted some amazing non veg local cuisines. I learned a non veg Sesame recipe and tried that at home too. Only thing you need to watch out in this place is the temperature .... for us it was 7 to 9 degrees. Next few days trekked to Shnongpdeng and the blissful Umgnot river. This is a very beautiful clear river and you would be able to see stones underneath. The water is so pure and clean. There is a bamboo bridge which helps you cross to the other side. Throughout the trip we tried local cuisines from hotels, the local guides also helped us in eating/ trying some amazing delicacies. Trekked to Shilliang .to see the few " Living root bridges". 2.Shora – “Cherrapunjee” this is how it is branded outside (this is the second rainiest place on earth) 3. Trekked to Nohkahlikai falls, here we were exposed to the wonders of dense subtropical forest as you negotiate the steep trails of Nohkahilikai falls (we had a great local guide " Baan" " he is a certified mountaineer himself, great trek and Amazing view from the water fall top 4. Mawlongbna - The place we stayed inTraveller's Nest this is run by the villages and the youngsters of the village volunteer and take turns to look after the place and the travelers. A very well-kept place. More treks followed to Split Rock – this is a spectacular and beautiful creation, is as high as a 4 storied building. We climbed down by ladder and walked through the narrow passage, these passages get filled with water during monsoon, making this site a wonderful place of river canyoning. Explored some amazing rock formations and ancient fossils. Explored a Cave (pitch dark inside) we had head lamps and torches with us, walked inside for almost 1.5 kms. the entire cave length was 3 Kms…To add on the suspense our guide after (1.5 kms) asked us to switch off lights and feel the silence. At that moment even though the silence was enchanting, I was reminded of English movies were a creature would come out of water and swallowed you ☹ …. Jokes apart …the experience of Cave dwelling was amazing Next, we came back to Shillong city and enjoy some local shopping at " Police Bazaar". We stayed at “Aerodene cottage” (Aerodene in fact is a truly hidden gem in a quiet lane in Dhankheti locality). They have very beautiful garden where you can enjoy your morning sun shine The neighboring state Assam greeted us the next, visited the Pobitra wildlife Sanctuary, it’s on the southern bank of the mighty Brahmaputra in Morigaon district in Assam. The boat ride on the river and the sunset view is truly an eye catcher. Pobitra has the highest density of Rhino population in the world. Eco resort run by Champak (he is a conservationist of wild animals) was a great get away for us. With the early morning Elephant ride, we sighted plenty of Rhinos and wild bisons. The cold mornings at Mayong (Mayong has a Mahabharata angle. it’s believed that Ghatotkacha’s clan used to live here and the village is known for its magical powers in olden times, it said that even today every family in this village knows some magic) The last stop was Guwahati …it was more of street food time now with the help of our Driver Nayan- he is a self-made man who came to Guwahati at the age of 11, he knows in all the locations in North east and is reliable than your travel review pages and google maps Over all an amazing holiday to a beautiful place and very warm people. Thank you Shyam and Outdoers for making this possible for us.

The trip was meticulously planned and executed to perfection to suite our requirements of birding. Icing on the cake was birding while it was snowing. Our guide knew all the happening birding hotspots and the bird species and that was a great help. I was able to see some very exotic species that I had hoped for and some more. Got nice pics too. The tour operator even accommodated our last minute request to add a stop during the return leg. Perfect trip. I have already done 3 trips with this organisation and plan to do more. Just waiting for the pandemic to be over.

Superb experience right from the booking process to the actual day of the tour. The team was highly professional. Om Prakash, my tour guide was very patient with all the questions I threw at him and his knowledge of the history of the ashram was incredible. He went out of his way to make my visit a very comfortable and enjoyable one. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL
