💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in village homestays in Nongriat (₹800-1,200 per night) instead of hotels in Shillong - you'll save 40-50% on accommodation while getting authentic meals and direct access to trekking routes.
📅 October to March is ideal when temperatures range from 15-25°C and rainfall is minimal, offering crystal-clear water visibility and perfect trekking conditions. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains make roads slippery and river currents dangerous.
🛂 Indian citizens holding a valid passport do not require a visa for Meghalaya. However, if you plan to visit the Indo-Bangladesh border areas near Tamabil, carry your passport and register at the local police station.
