the air, setting the tone for an unforgettable day. Bidding adieu to the tranquil
shores of Majuli, you’ll step into the driver’s seat of your rugged 4x4, poised for
an extraordinary drive to head towards Ziro with the coolest convoy. The road

As you drive from the mystical town of Ziro to the captivating paradise of Balipara, the
stretch of road alone will redefine your concept of adventure. Every mile traversed
becomes a conquest, every bend in the road an invitation to test your limits. The
road curves through undulating terrains and presents you with a canvas of ever-
changing vistas. As you press the pedal, the thrill surges through you, amplified by
the powerful hum of the engine. Leaving Ziro behind, you’ll embrace the exhilarating
challenge of conquering the road less traveled. Balipara awaits as your reward—an
oasis of tranquility after the long day spent on the road.

Mahseer, a cozy haven nestled within a lush tea estate will be your humble abode.

like Botanic Trail (inside the campus of Wild Mahseer), cycling or visit to the main
bungalow. In the evening, visit the tea estate, where the bushes stretch out like
a lush green carpet. Breathe in the earthy fragrance as you watch the rhythmic
plucking of tea leaves, an age-old tradition that’s as mesmerizing as it is skillful.
Wander through local handicraft shops, where vibrant textiles, intricate pottery,
and delicate jewelry take center stage. Each piece tells a story of the hands that
crafted it, a testament to the community’s rich heritage

halt at Jaswantgarh Memorial. Along the way, another mandatory halt awaits at the
renowned Sela Pass, nestled at a staggering altitude of 13,700ft where time seems to
stand still. The scenery defies description - snow-capped peaks majestically pierce
the sky, while pristine lakes mirror the cerulean heavens. As you conquer this high-
altitude route in your 4x4, remember that the destination is just as extraordinary as

As you traverse the breathtaking route to Tezpur, nestled within your sturdy 4x4
vehicle, you’ll realize how the excitement of this drive lies not only in the distance
covered but in the landscapes conquered. Leaving Tawang behind, the roads will
take you through the undulating terrain of Arunachal Pradesh as you traverse into a
different state. Amidst this breathtaking journey, the Nuranang Waterfall will beckon
you closer. To witness its cascading magnificence is an experience on its own which is
why it’s a popular halt point on this road trip. Ascending heights, descending valleys,
and maneuvering through turns become a testament to your passion for the road.

turn, the engine’s roar harmonizing with the rustling leaves and distant bird calls.
Nestled amidst nature’s splendor, take in the breathtaking views of the Umiam Lake,
its tranquil waters reflecting the azure sky. Engage in a relaxing day - perhaps a

day’s adventures melt away. The day is the perfect blend of heart-racing escapade
and soothing reprieve.
 13 Day

Umiam - Cherrapunji
The day kicks off with an adrenaline-infused drive from the Umiam to Cherrapunji. The
lush, rolling hills of Meghalaya act as a cradle embracing your heart and soul. As the
engine roars and the tires grip the earth, you’ll find your adrenaline hiking. Dawki will
welcome you with its crystal-clear Umngot River. The mystical experience of gliding upon
its transparent waters is a bucket list adventure for many. Afterward, Mawlynnong, often
dubbed ‘Asia’s Cleanest Village,’ awaits your eager steps. The vibrant gardens, bamboo
bridges, and awe-inspiring living root bridges will transport you into a different world
altogether. Before making your final halt of the day at Cherrapunji, today’s drive is all
about truly living and breathing the magic of Meghalaya and it’s one you’ll treasure forever.

many generations of the Khasi Tribe. It showcases the artistry of intertwining roots
that have been sculpted into nature’s very own masterpiece. With each step, you’ll
tread upon history and legacy, feeling the echoes of those who have walked this path
before. The trek is a stimulating experience that will ignite your love for nature.

into the mysterious depths of the Mawsmai Caves, where ancient rock formations
and intricate passageways unveil secrets of the Earth’s history. Afterward, you’ll bid
farewell to Cherrapunji and proceed to Guwahati, but the enthralling journey ahead
