Five days of mesmerising natural beauty things which will leave you spell bound. Whatever pictures & videos you have seen of the place nothing matches us to the real feel. The hike to the double decker root bridge along with camping at Dawki & the vibe in Shillong makes this for an entertaining trip when you add a bunch of random people mostly who enroll solo from different parts of the country. 

The age category is usually between 25 to 55 years with 75% of the people following in the age bracket of 26-35. It’s a trip which takes you deep into one of the lesser known parts of India.
