Festival of the Hills – Celebrate Meghalaya’s Spirit
Tour Highlights
Package Overview
Festival of the Hills is not just a tour — it’s an invitation to experience Meghalaya at its most vibrant. This 5 Nights/6 Days journey curated by Musafir Baba travels blends the state’s stunning landscapes with its rich traditions, local festivals, and tribal heritage. Perfect for travelers who want to move beyond sightseeing and immerse themselves in the region’s living culture, this package takes you through the rolling hills of Shillong, the waterfalls of Cherrapunji, and the charming villages of Mawlynnong — all while you experience authentic Khasi and Jaintia festivals. The itinerary aligns with seasonal festivals like the Shad Suk Mynsiem Dance Festival, Wangala Festival, or local harvest fairs. You’ll get to watch or participate in community dances, see traditional costumes, listen to local folk music, and enjoy tribal cuisine. This is an unparalleled way to witness Meghalaya’s social fabric and its deep-rooted harmony with nature. Starting at the “Scotland of the East” — Shillong — the trip covers major attractions like Umiam Lake, Elephant Falls, and Ward’s Lake before moving into Cherrapunji’s mist-laden valleys. Here you’ll discover Meghalaya’s natural grandeur — the Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Caves, and living root bridges. A visit to Mawlynnong Village, Asia’s cleanest village, gives you an insight into Khasi eco-living practices. Whether it’s the colorful dances, the scent of pine in the air, the sound of drums echoing across hills, or the smiles of the local people — “Festival of the Hills” is designed to leave you with a sense of connection and joy. With budget-friendly accommodations, curated cultural experiences, and comfortable transfers, this program is perfect for groups who wish to combine celebration, exploration, and relaxation.
