Meghalaya, meaning "abode of the clouds," is one of India's most scenic states, blessed with lush hills, cascading waterfalls, mysterious caves, and vibrant cultures. Its crown jewel, Shillong, is known as the "Scotland of the East" for its cool climate, pine-covered hills, and colonial charm.

From Siliguri, a road trip to Meghalaya takes you into a world of crystal-clear rivers, living root bridges in Cherrapunji, and the mesmerizing blue waters of Dawki. Whether you're exploring Shillong’s lively streets or trekking through remote Khasi villages, every moment in Meghalaya feels like stepping into a nature postcard.

With Jayanti Travels, you can book a Siliguri to Meghalaya car rental, enjoy customized sightseeing, and make the most of your time in this hill paradise.
