Ri Bhoi : locations de vacances avec accès à un lac

This place made our stay absolutely wholesome. It had all necessary amenities, was easy to locate. But the best thing about it, without a doubt , is the serene and peaceful surrounding , with an overlooking view of the Brahmaputra right from their balconies. It has a well maintained kitchen, and the entire space was squeaky clean. Lochana is a very kind and responsive host who was available to help us with even the minute of details during our stay. Well lit, sample parking space, it’s a great retreat with your loved ones. Will def visit again

4 minute read disclaimer - writing this from office and have to run for a meeting. PL dont mind the grammar/punctuations /any other mistakes that are silly. ;) A lovely travel model by the camping co guys. this was my first overlanding trip and must say the experience was rich. I did a 9 day trip with my 3 year old and wife and in a line If I had to explain the trip I'd say my faith in humanity is restored. People in Meghalaya are so damn sweet and warm. The place is crazy safe. About the vehicle - It was a heavy duty xenon pickup and i loved driving it everywhere in Meghalaya. The camper on the top is kickass. Super warm and the mattress is really comfortable. 3 of us could sleep very comfortably. the mileage is great and the roads are good. The experience - Everyday is going to be a crazy one I can assure you that. It will bring out the traveller in you and by the end you'd start liking things which are more real . The Camping sites - they are ok. Some like the white water village have amazing stories and a location. The drive - its crazy. I loved everybit of it . Its gets more beautiful every day Here's a tip - towards the end we wanted to chill and relax for a night in shillong and i took the car inside shillong (even after anan adviced strongly against it ). At few places i literally had to park it and ask help from the locals to drive it out. The traffic is crazy, the lanes are small and the roads are steep. Driving here is for the pro s in the mountains. Bottomline, dont get into shillong with this beast. The circuit - I think i could have done this better . There's a place about 17 kms from shillong and it is here if you take a right you go towards nongkhunam , go straight mawlygnbna and left cherra and dawki. So i personally feel the ideal circuit would be this GHY - umiam lake - whitewater village (camp) - mawphlanur - nongkhunam (camp) - lake and canyon/waterfall in nongkhunam - mawphlang sacred grove - maulygnbna (camp) - caving (maulai caves - they are a beauty) , river canyoneering next morning here - jakrem ( i did not try this because i wasnt sure if the hot springs are a pool or a tap ) - cherra (camp) -weisadong falls - nongriat trek - stay at serene nongriat - trek back up - drive to dawki - here camp at darrang ( this campsite run by punhet. just go there and ask for him) - i did not do mawlyngong because everything here is only really clean and by then i had seen a bunch of clean villages already - shillong - chill here local sightseeing - gauhati - chill and local sight seeing and fly back home. Things i missed - Jowai (they say its beautiful), krang suri falls - again a beauty. The bamboo bridge trek ( some said it was great) . Things you must definitely try and some things to remember - try the pan chuna and the raw beetlenut here. Gives a kick, heats up your entire system. Cooking at the campsites - so therapeutic ( camping co guys provide a butane gas for only 999, im glad i carried it), talk to the locals - so freaking sweet. It was a privilege to learn their culture. For example here you see more men than women working because here the guy goes to the girl's house after marriage and women inherit the wealth mostly. plus they get land and money n all after the marriage(the boys). Carry a guitar or a good speaker. Music here sounds so different at the camps. Sing and dance with the fellow campers . See anyone looking like a hippe or with a big ass cam in hand, go talk to them immediately and keep checking where they are in their travels. This way we made a lot of friends who were ahead or in a different place and kept updating on what to do and where to go and not to go. Thumb rule, no matter how cold it is your tent is going to be warmer than the rooms. Stick to it. These guys im sure have done a lot of R&D on these tents. They are just mindblowing. The most comfortable tent i ve slept in actually. carry cash . dont overspeed , the roads are too beautiful for that. vegetarians , on the way to shillong eat at jiva veg, on the way to nonkhunam there s nothing much, on the way to cherra there s a a few almost half way up, on the way to dawki eat at kab bri war (or something) , on the way to maulygnbna there s nothing. plan food accordingly. try the shillong strain , its crazy. buy a tent lamp will be super useful . The season - i traveled in feb so mostly cold and dry. you cant see green grassy meadows but the upside is you can do a lot of caves. Here every season is different and comes with its own pro s and cons. I feel every season here is good to travel but the locals said October is the intersection of all goodness here. Support during the trip - The camping co guys are big on service. They have your back if you need help or if anything goes wrong . Camping sites (again) - give them a call one day before and on the day of stay call them again when you begin the drive. One of the sites sa i mike at cherrapunje forgot that i was coming and we had to stay at a hotel that night. Overall verdict - This was a crazy experience and i

Very homely stay. The host was very very helpful and took good care to see that every need was met.

Pd inn is a awesome property and so is it’s host Anjan!! Some reviews were written in bad light but don’t go by those reviews. Some reviews are written in poor light by some guest like rahul Chakravorty but if I had gone through those reviews I would have missed on staying at this very comfortable place. The place is very clean and accessible to nearby markets with ample car parking and cab services and the host is a great human being who will go out of his way to help guest. If you get the listing book it without any thought as you will definitely enjoy the stay and Anjan the host will help you with any request for sure and is just a phone call away. Surely will visit again.highly recommend.

Great host, very sweet and helpful just a call away. The house was good and clean for my family of 4 and all facilities like geyser, Wi-Fi and heater were also available. Good place for this price, try it out.

A truly unique place to stay - a traditional bamboo village house. Simple accommodation that is perfect for someone who wants to discover what it would be like to live in an Assamese village. Karan and his wife were wonderfully welcoming and helpful and his aunt cooked food for us over the fire in the kitchen. Their little nephew took us walking in the forest behind the house. We loved our stay there.
