Your holiday idea
Follow the Khasi hills from Shillong's easy city rhythm to misty viewpoints, waterfalls and village landscapes around Sohra. This five-night idea gives the journey breathing room and treats living-root-bridge walks as a choice based on fitness, local access and weather, rather than an inclusion for everyone.
A suggested route
Shillong → Sohra → Shillong. The day-by-day plan below is a starting point and can be adjusted to your dates and pace.
Plan before you travel
Rain, slippery steps and long hill drives can change the plan. Some root-bridge trails involve substantial stair climbing; share fitness and mobility needs before choosing a route. River boating, village access fees and guides need separate local checks.

Your travel dates and duration
This suggested itinerary is 6 days / 5 nights. Share your preferred dates or travel month, arrival/departure point and group size so the team can check a workable custom plan. Travel and transfer time is part of the outline. This is not a scheduled group departure, and no seat or room is held until the selected arrangements are confirmed in writing.
Review your personalised quote
This page is a suggested custom holiday. Ask for a written quote showing the selected travel dates, traveller names and ages, route, accommodation, room occupancy, transport, meals, sightseeing, taxes, total amount and booking conditions. An enquiry does not reserve rooms, tickets, vehicles or seats.
Accommodation, rooms and meals
The property name, room category, occupancy, meal plan and check-in/check-out arrangements are those stated in your final confirmation. Early check-in, late checkout, adjoining rooms and other special requests depend on availability and may involve a separately quoted charge. Destination artwork does not identify a booked hotel or room.
Transfers, sightseeing and optional experiences
Pickup/drop points, transfer type, vehicle arrangements, guide services, admission tickets and included meals must be listed in the written quote. Suggested visits and optional experiences are not reserved merely because they appear in the itinerary. Local opening hours, access, traffic and weather can affect the workable order of the day.
Payment and booking confirmation
Review the payment schedule, due dates, accepted payment method and availability conditions in your written quote before paying. Follow the verified booking instructions shared by TripSarathi and retain the confirmation and receipts. No online payment or automatic reservation is created by this enquiry form.
Changes, cancellation and refunds
Contact TripSarathi with your booking reference and the service you want to change or cancel, and request acknowledgement. Availability, revised prices, cancellation charges and refundable amounts depend on the specific supplier and service terms accepted for your booking. Ask for those conditions before payment. A request, supplier approval and a completed refund are separate stages; no standard percentage or refund deadline is promised on this page.
Documents, permits and participation needs
Check the travel-document, visa and permit requirements relevant to your nationality, destination and dates before booking. Tell the team about traveller ages, mobility needs and other requirements that affect the route. Optional water, snow, walking and adventure experiences require their own availability, operating and suitability checks.
Destination-specific planning notes
Rain, slippery steps and long hill drives can change the plan. Some root-bridge trails involve substantial stair climbing; share fitness and mobility needs before choosing a route. River boating, village access fees and guides need separate local checks.
