The Abode of Clouds

If you are an adventure seeker who loves to explore unseen gems, then this is the trip for you. Different from our mainstream trekking experiences, 8 days in Meghalaya will open all your senses in a way you’ve never imagined before. For starters, it will take you a minute to grasp that the state really is in India. A class apart from the rest of the country, Meghalaya is known as the “Abode of Clouds” and falls in one of the richest biodiversity areas of the world.

Another reason this adventure is different, is that each day involves a small hike to a destination, and every night you sleep in comfortable beds with a roof over your head. You might miss camping under the stars, but you will find that Meghalaya is top notch in all its offerings. As all Pink Boots experiences, some parts of your experience will be physically challenging, as we believe in a sense of accomplishment being a key takeaway.
