Know Before You Go
- Carry Real ID: The mountains don't recognize PAN Cards. Keep your Aadhar or Voter ID (physical and digital) handy for every checkpoint and check-in. No ID = No Entry.
- Permit Ready: If your heart is set on restricted border zones, let us know early. Permits aren't just paperwork; they are your "golden ticket," and they take time to process.
- The "Meghalaya Uniform": It rains when it wants to. Always carry a sturdy umbrella and a lightweight windcheater, even if the sun is out.
- Layers are Life: Temperatures in Shillong can drop to 5°C while the plains stay humid. Pack layers, not just one heavy jacket.
- The Nongriat Challenge: Planning to see the Double Decker Bridge? Your sneakers will fail you. Pack high-grip hiking shoes or "Goldcup" local boots. The 3,500 steps are steep, slippery, and unforgiving.
- Hilly Horsepower: When the climb gets steep, our drivers might cut the AC. It’s not about saving fuel; it’s about giving the engine the 100% power it needs to get you up those hairpin bends safely.
- The "You Break It, You Buy It" Rule: We hand-pick our stays for their charm. Treat the property like your own home. Any damages or "accidental souvenirs" will be charged at actual replacement costs.

Meghalaya is beautiful but roads are very tiring. Megha managed the itinerary well, though the hotel in Shnongpdeng had very basic food. Support was always a call away.

Priya planned it perfectly. She warned us about the 3000 steps trek beforehand. If she hadn't, my parents would have struggled. Proper guidance given.
