Itinerary

DAY 1

  • Begin your day with a short drive from Shillong to Mylliem village — the starting point of your walk. From here, a 40-minute downhill trail through fragrant pine forests leads you to a beautiful hidden valley where open meadows stretch beside a gentle stream.
  • At the base, you’re welcomed by the sound of water and the feeling of stillness — ideal for resting, journaling, photography, or simply lying in the grass. There’s also an option to enjoy a short traditional country boat ride on the calm river, adding a whimsical touch to the day.
  • After spending time in the meadows, the return trek begins — a steady one-hour uphill climb back to Mylliem. It’s a satisfying end to a light but refreshing forest walk.
  • Head back to Shillong by afternoon, with the scent of pine and river mist still clinging gently to your senses.
