FAQ
Meghalaya: your questions
How many days do we need for the North East?
For one state like Meghalaya, 5 to 6 days is comfortable. For two states, plan 8 days or more. Hill roads are slow, so fewer places is better.
When is the water clearest at Dawki?
From November to April. In the monsoon the river turns muddy.
Can my parents do the Double Decker Root Bridge trek?
For most parents over 60, no. It is about 3,000+ steps down and back up. On our trips this is an optional day, and parents can enjoy an easy village walk instead.
Is the North East safe for families?
Yes, the places we go are visited by families every season. We use trusted drivers and stays, and your trail designer is on WhatsApp throughout the trip.
Will we get vegetarian or Jain food in the North East?
Vegetarian food is available in towns like Shillong, Gangtok and Guwahati. In villages it is simpler. Tell us about Jain food when you book, and we plan meals and snacks around it.
Do we need permits for the North East?
Indian travellers need an Inner Line Permit for Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, and a separate permit for parts of Sikkim like North Sikkim. Meghalaya and Assam do not need one. We arrange all permits.
