  5. Best Time To Visit Meghalaya

Meghalaya is a heavenly destination that travellers can visit any time of the year based on their personal preferences. Meghalaya, being one of the wettest places on this planet, receives bountiful rain almost all the time. It is crucial to consider the safe and risk-free time for travel and be a responsible traveller to make the travel experience more memorable. In general, the best time to visit Meghalaya is between October and March because of the clear skies, pleasant climate, and numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. Like any other destination, each season has its own perks, and the beauty of it is exclusive for the season. 

Spring in Meghalaya

Spring is always a beautiful season packed with gorgeous flowers and pleasant views, especially in Meghalaya. Tourists wanting to escape from the heat of the plains in other parts of India can chill at this place with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. Spring is clearly the best season to visit Meghalaya, giving enough sunshine to make adventure and sightseeing activities more pleasant. It is also ideal for relaxation amidst the heart of nature, taking in the stunning views of the Eastern Himalayas.

  • Months: March and April
  • Daytime temperatures: 15°C to 25°C

Summer in Meghalaya

Summer in Meghalaya is actually a pleasant time to enjoy a cool vacation, unlike other parts of India. Summer is another best time to go to Meghalaya, along with spring, which ultimately combines to form the peak season. The lush greenery, romantic showers, warm weather, and flowing streams are among the perks of travelling during this season. The picturesque landscapes and flowers in full bloom are exclusive to summers that can make any worldly worries disappear.

  • Months: May and June
  • Daytime temperatures: 20°C to 30°C

Winter in Meghalaya

Winter is among the best time to visit in Meghalaya because of its cool weather, less rainfall, and possibilities of outdoor activities. Unlike other Himalayan regions, Meghalaya does not experience snowfall or extreme cold temperatures. Exploring Meghalaya in winter can be more peaceful and refreshing as it is comparatively less crowded. The festivities of the seasons are cheerful, giving tourists a glimpse of tribal traditions, dances, and local rituals.

Monsoon in Meghalaya

Monsoon is a wonderful time to witness heavy showers of rain and lush landscapes covered in fog. The cascading waterfalls and running streams are at their full glory, making it an unbelievable sight. Although the monsoon has incredible beauty, it comes with its own risks. Meghalaya receives some of the highest rainfall in the world, which makes it a bit challenging to enjoy outdoor experiences. It is crucial to remember about floods, landslides, and road conditions before choosing this time to travel

  • Months: June to September
  • Daytime temperatures: 15°C to 25°C
  • Nighttime temperatures: 10°C to 20°C

We had a wonderful experience with Pickyourtrail, and this was our second trip with them. From the booking process right until the end of the trip, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. The package was also offered at a very reasonable cost. What impressed us the most was their excellent coordination and support throughout the trip. Every day, their team would call and check if everything was going well, which gave us a lot of confidence while travelling. Their coordination with the local vendors, hotels, transfers, and other arrangements was truly top-notch. We stayed at two hotels during the trip. The first one was extraordinary. The second hotel was a little congested for our requirements, so we decided to upgrade. Pickyourtrail was supportive even there and provided partial payment towards the upgrade, which we really appreciated. This was the only small issue we faced during the entire trip. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Their responsiveness, coordination, and customer support made the journey much more comfortable. This was our second trip with Pickyourtrail, and definitely not our last! Looking forward to planning our next travel with them.

Overall good experience. A waterfall was planned in the schedule. But couldnt go there because the distance was huge to go from the previous place. Could improve a bit on the itinerary based on travelling . Otherwise all other planning, hotel stay, Transportation, everything was so good and excellent.
