From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Northeast India Itinerary — 5 to 7 Day Plans
From living root bridges to rhino safaris, mapped out day by day.
A well-planned itinerary is what turns a Northeast trip into a great one. The most popular route pairs the Meghalaya hills — Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki — with the Assam plains and Kaziranga's rhinos. Below is a sample 5–7 day plan you can shorten or extend. Everything is flexible, and Holiday Vibez tailors the pace, hotels and add-ons to suit you.
Top things to see & do
Suggested itinerary
Land at Guwahati (GAU), visit the Kamakhya Temple and enjoy a Brahmaputra sunset. Overnight in the city.
Drive to Shillong via Umiam Lake, exploring Elephant Falls and the vibrant local markets on arrival.
Discover Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Caves and a living root bridge amid Cherrapunji's dramatic gorges.
Boat on the glassy Umngot River at Dawki, then wander the spotless village of Mawlynnong.
Journey east into Assam to Kaziranga, arriving for a relaxed evening at the park's edge.
Take a jeep or elephant safari in search of rhinos, wild buffalo and deer, with a tea-garden stop.
Drive back to Guwahati for last-minute shopping before your onward flight home.

The classic 5-day plan
Short on time? A 5-day trip covers Guwahati, Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki — the heart of Meghalaya. It is a beautifully compact loop that still delivers waterfalls, root bridges and the famous clear river at Dawki.
The 6–7 day Meghalaya + Assam plan
With a couple more days you can add Kaziranga's wildlife to the Meghalaya highlights. This is our most-loved itinerary because it balances hills, culture and a genuine safari without ever feeling rushed.
How to reach the start
All routes begin at Guwahati (GAU). From South India you will typically fly one-stop via Kolkata, Chennai or Delhi; airfare is separate from the land package. From the airport it is a scenic road journey onward into Meghalaya or Assam.
Best time for this itinerary
October to April offers the clearest weather for sightseeing and safaris. The monsoon paints Cherrapunji at its most spectacular but roads slow down, so we adjust the day-by-day plan to the season.
Make it yours
These are starting points, not fixed menus. We can add Kaziranga tea estates, extend into Arunachal or Nagaland with the right permits, slow the pace for families, or upgrade hotels — whatever suits your style.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
