Good to know

  • Guwahati: Use Guwahati as a one-night stop between Shillong and Kaziranga.
  • Kaziranga National Park: Book the earliest jeep safari; mist rising off the grasslands at dawn is the best time for rhinos.
  • Shillong: Allow extra time for traffic in Shillong town; plan sightseeing outside peak hours.
  • Cherrapunji (Sohra): Stay overnight at Nongriat if you want the root bridge without the day crowds.
