Sweet fall, sacred forest and small trekking there.

Note:
1.Orchid and Jiva resorts at Cherrapunji are worth a stay, i had included 2-3 night stay in this itinerary at Cherrapunji, give them a shot. 2.also if you are not a habitual trekker/walker then Double Dekker track gonna leave you in 3days calf muscle pain, prepare accordingly.
3 pack warm clothes with you, north east is too cold in November to February, cool in march, april, August September. Rest it is pleasant, and Dawki, Double Dekker you will find warm in rest of days.
4. For those looking for budget travel option, stay at Police bazaar and contact 0364-2226220, tourist information centre, MTDC. They conduct one day trip to cherrapunji, mawsynram, city+umiam, dowki, Nartiang on pocket friendly rates from Police Bazaar, Shillong.
