Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best car for the Meghalaya full circuit? +
The Hyundai Creta (₹2,999/day) is our most recommended car for the Meghalaya circuit — its panoramic sunroof is spectacular on the misty Khasi Hills drive, and 190mm ground clearance handles all the roads. For a premium experience, the Kia Seltos or Thar Roxx with roof open.
Which month is best for the Meghalaya circuit? +
October to December is peak season — clear skies, waterfalls still flowing, cool pleasant weather. Monsoon (June-September) is dramatic but roads can be slippery. April-May is also excellent — spring flowers and pre-monsoon waterfalls.
