Shillong's Umiam Lake and the Cherrapunji waterfall belt, then Guwahati's Kamakhya and Umananda temples, over four nights.
Cherrapunji's waterfalls drive the Meghalaya half of this four-night plan — Seven Sister Falls, Mawsmai Falls and the tall Nohkalikai drop — opening from Shillong's Umiam Lake and the Eco Park viewpoint over the plains. Guwahati then takes over for the temples set along and high above the Brahmaputra river.
Two Bases In Four Nights
Shillong anchors the hill days with its lake and the run out to Cherrapunji for the cascade cluster and Eco Park ridge. Guwahati holds the river temples: Kamakhya on Nilachal hill, the nine Navagraha shrines, island-set Umananda, and the Purva Tirupati Balaji temple. Short hops keep travel time low between the two bases.
Planning Notes
Breakfast comes with each stay, and the day plans bunch sights by base so you are not retracing roads between them. The Cherrapunji waterfalls run fullest after the monsoon rains, while the Guwahati temple circuit holds up well across the whole year.
