Exploring any of the seven sister states of India can be a true treat to any eco-tourist. However, if you choose Meghalaya as your next destination, then you not only get to enjoy Mother Nature’s bounty to your heart’s content but also get a chance to get a slice of the rich heritage that the state imbibes. And apart from the conventional tour packages, there awaits a small treat for those who are willing to grab it!

Not Just a Tour

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk across the terrains of a quaint hilly town with a gifted storyteller accompanying you all the time? The Meghalaya tour packages from the premier service providers, such as Odyssey Travels, offer walking trips, especially in and around Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. Get up and close to the natural vibes of the place by choosing a walk that you can relate to:

  • Historical Shillong: this walk masterfully blends historical truths and myths, along with a physical visit to the nearly forgotten corners and the prominent city highlights. Learn about the now non-operational royals and celebrities who grab all the headlines nowadays.
  • Nature Walk: imbibe your senses with the ethereal beauty of the lush hills, cover spots like Laitkor Catholic Church, as well as the gorgeous View Point in Shillong. Climb through some rocky terrains and go to the forested area in upper Shillong if you want some extra adventure and have some extra time.
  • Local Food-Tasting Guided Tours: for those looking for a gastronomic journey, exploring the local food corners would bring its own share of pleasant surprises. The food shall always be warm and nourishing, the taste will always define the adjective ‘delicious, and the people who serve them will always be all hearts.
