Tour Ideas - Megalaya

Have visited cheerapunji in December 2018.......it's been long time I was thinking to write Abt cheerapunji.....
I was there for 4-5 days......with the help of two wheeler it became easiest.......
One can sustain in cheerapunji with lowest budget....if u plan accordingly..
Homestay where I stayed was for RS.250/- per person.......there we stayed for 3 days.and covered almost all places in cheerapunji.....
The orange roots was one of the best veg restaurant in cheerapunji.....and reasonable one with unlimited food
Then I headed towards dawki....bt dint make stay there ......then 7km ahead...shnonpedenge... beautiful place....I did camping there...and hired tent from "hallatong home stay" which was rs.500/- for single camp..jus on River bank ..there are lots of water activities over there do give it a try.....

Next to petrol pump in cheerapunji there is one nice small tea stall with green paint ......thy make fresh buns everyday and it tastes amazing......do give it a try.......

From guwahati u get lots of sharing cab for RS.350-/- around to shillong....and from shillong u will get lots of sharing sumo for RS.100-120.

It's safest place for anyone to travel....dint faced any kind of Eve teasing or uncomfortable situation.......
