The six-night-seven-day tour, titled Enigmatic Meghalaya Adventure Package, on self-driven motorcycles covers Shillong, Cherrapunji, and Shnongpdeng (Dawki). It is priced at ₹44,640 for single occupancy and ₹38,320 for double occupancy (solo plus pillion). The pick-up and drop service facility is from the Guwahati railway station or Guwahati airport.
Officials said accommodation would be provided at standard category hotels or resorts on twin- or triple-sharing basis. Tent accommodation in permanent camping will be provided at destinations where hotels or resorts are not available.
