We are all living in uncertain times. 2020 was spent largely locked in at home, with very few instances of travelling, thus making the time especially challenging for all wanderers. The end of 2020, and early 2021 was marginally better, with many venturing out and resuming travel. And while the second wave has taken over the country, there stands a glimmer of hope as vaccine distribution gets extended to those above the age of 18 years. However, many eligible people are still unsure about taking the jab.
Here’s an interesting incentive to take the COVID-19 vaccine. As per latest news reports, Megh, a Meghalaya based travel agency has announced an exciting Vax Trip, for everybody who has already been vaccinated against COVID. An MAP plan for five-night, six-day trip across Meghalaya, starting at Rs. 19,495, and that includes air fare from select metros. The trip reportedly promises to show you the abundance and vibrance of Meghalaya’s lush greenery that comes alive in monsoons from July to September.
The Vax Trip Itinerary
You’ll be welcomed at Guwahati airport by your tour manager. The tour begins with the blessings of Kamakhya Devi, the famous Shakti Peeth in Guwahati. The first night is spent in Guwahati. On day two you will head straight to Cherrapunji, with other members of the group. The highlight of the day will be the visit to Umiam lake and the majestic Mawkdok Dympep Viewing Point, one of North Easts most spectacular sights, followed by an overnight stay in Cherrapunji.
Day three will bring one of the best monsoon experiences with a visit to the mysterious caves at Nohkalikai waterfall, the Seven Sisters Waterfall, the Dainthlen Waterfall and the enchanting Arwah Lumshynna Cave. Indigenous honey and spice sampling at designated locations is also set up for the travellers to explore.
Over the next two days, the trip winds through other attractions of Meghalaya like Mawlynnong village, said to be the cleanest village in India, the Living Root Bridges, Dawki and its crystal clear waters, the sacred Forest of Mawphlang, and Shillong (known fondly as the Scotland of the East).
Some preconditions are that if senior citizens above 70 years are planning the trip, then they need to be accompanied by a family member or an escort. They are also required to undergo a medical checkup and be proven fit to travel before making the booking.
