Plan Our HoneymoonWhy Shillong is Perfect for Your Honeymoon
Meghalaya is one of India's best-kept honeymoon secrets. No crowds, no chaos — just misty hills, crystal-clear rivers, ancient forests, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually connect with each other.
I've planned dozens of honeymoon trips in Shillong, and I know exactly what makes couples fall in love with this place. The Dawki river boat ride alone is worth the entire trip — floating on water so clear it looks like glass, surrounded by green hills and silence.
This 4-day itinerary covers the most romantic spots in Meghalaya. I'll arrange everything — private taxi, cozy 1BHK room at Wiba Homestay, restaurant recommendations, and even small surprises if you'd like. Just tell me what you need.

Markos's Honeymoon Tips
- Book the 1BHK room at Wiba Homestay for privacy — it's cozy, clean, and perfect for couples.
- Tell me in advance if you want a special dinner arrangement — I can organize candles, flowers, and local cuisine.
- The Dawki boat ride is best in the morning (8–10 AM) when the water is calmest and clearest.
- Laitlum Canyon at sunrise is the most romantic moment in Meghalaya — don't miss it.
- Avoid visiting Cherrapunji in peak monsoon (July–August) — roads can be difficult.
- I'll keep the itinerary flexible — if you want to linger somewhere, we linger. No rush.
