The abode of clouds
Assam Meghalaya: Rhino Country, Waterfalls, a Crystal River
Ride a jeep through elephant grass where one-horned rhinos graze, stand over waterfalls pouring off the wettest hills on record, and watch boats float on water so clear they seem to hang in air. Fortune's 6 day escorted tour runs ex Kochi with the Kaziranga entry and jungle safari already inside the price.
Why this journey
The North East, Finally Made Easy.
Assam and Meghalaya sit on every traveller's someday list, and this route turns someday into six escorted days. Assam brings Kamakhya, one of the great Shakti Peethas and among the holiest Shakta shrines in India, and Kaziranga, the UNESCO World Heritage stronghold of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros. Then Meghalaya, the abode of clouds, answers with Shillong, the Scotland of the East, the rain-record cliffs of Cherrapunjee, Mawlynnong, celebrated as the cleanest village in Asia, and the glass-clear Umngot river at Dawki. Two states, one booking, a Fortune tour manager throughout.

Before you go
Assam Meghalaya, in brief.
Rhino grasslands, waterfall cliffs, and a river clear enough to see through, in one short season.
The morning in the grass
A Jeep Safari Through Kaziranga.
Kaziranga National Park
Rhino Country, Entry and Safari Included
Kaziranga is the reason wildlife lovers point east. A UNESCO World Heritage Site of tall elephant grass, marshes, and forest along the Brahmaputra, it is the world's great stronghold of the one-horned rhinoceros, sharing the ground with tigers, elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer. The tour stays the night at the park and takes the morning jeep safari through the Central or Western range, when the grass is gold, and the animals are out. Both the park entry and the jungle jeep safari sit inside the Fortune price, so the wildest morning of the trip costs nothing extra on the day.
Ask About the Season
Worth the drive to the border
The River You Can See Straight Through.
At Dawki, on the Bangladesh border, the Umngot river performs its famous trick. In the clear months the water turns to glass, boats appear to float on air, and the stones of the riverbed sit in plain view metres below. The tour reaches it after the morning in Mawlynnong, where every villager sweeps and plants until the lanes look tended by hand, which they are. The riverside visit comes built into the day, and the boat cruise itself can be taken on the spot for those who want the floating photograph of their own.
The Fine Print, Made Simple
What to Sort Before the Hills.
This is a domestic journey, so no passport enters the picture; every traveller, children included, carries a valid government photo ID for the flights. Travel insurance is not part of the package, so anyone wanting cover arranges their own. Transfers run in non-AC vehicles, the hill-country standard where the mountain air does the cooling. The drives are real ones, roughly five hours to Kaziranga and six over the ghats to Shillong, and the safari morning starts early. Mawsmai Cave asks for steady shoes and an easy stoop; Meghalaya can produce rain in any month, so pack a light rain layer, and Shillong evenings turn cool enough for woolens in winter. The Umngot boat cruise at Dawki is optional on the spot. Payment runs 50 percent at booking, with the balance before 15 days of departure.
