Shillong Cherry Blossoms & Meghalaya Nature Wonders Guide

Shillong Cherry Blossoms & Meghalaya Nature Wonders Guide

Have you ever wandered strolling on the streets under pink and white cherry blossoms when music, food, and festival smell are everywhere surrounding you?

Walking through reddish and whitish colored streets tinted with swirling cherry blossoms flowers in the wind, and savoring hills laden with food, music and festival activities. It turns into a fantasy when in the state capital of Meghalaya, Shillong, during the most magical festive season of India, the Cherry Blossom Festival, one will discover that fantasy becomes reality.

Being one of the Best Tour Operators in Thrissur, Move On Leisure presents you with a well-organised experience that harmoniously brings together the cherry blossom miracle with Meghalaya's nature secrets. Whether it is Senior Citizens International Tour Packages or Ladies Only Tour Packages in Kerala, our personal attention welcomes each guest to heaven and comforts them throughout this journey.

What is the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival?

Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival is the only autumn flower festival of India, celebrated each year in November when the city appears to be painted white and pink with flowers. Unlike the spring flowers of Japan, Meghalaya cherry blossoms bloom during autumn, and the tourists are thus provided with a different perspective.

The festival is not alone—there is a live music concert, cultural dance, local cuisine, art exhibition, and green workshop. There is just too much to see on one's own with Move On Leisure. One gets to experience the beautiful Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival events and the undiscovered beauty of hills and lakes in Meghalaya.

What Can You See During the Festival?

Cherry Blossom Scenic Walks – Walk along Wards Lake and Shillong Golf Course, both covered with flowers.

Cultural Festival – Observe tribal dances, folk shows, and art displays.

Local Craft & Food Stalls – Sample Khasi food and buy homemade handicrafts.

Night Glow & Light Displays – Observe regal lights convert pink flowers into a fairyland.

For nature lovers visiting the Shillong spring festival, the travel guide says mid- or late November would be a good time to see when the blooming is at its best.

What Are Some of the Activities That One Can Do During the Festival in Shillong?

There is more to do than gazing at flowers. Some of the best-improved Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival activities include:

  • Photography Tours – Capture the pink bloom in front of city lakes and parks.
  • Biking & Nature Walks – Ideal for adventure enthusiasts walking over flower-covered hills.
  • Live Music & Dance Performances – Dance to the tunes of international and local music superstars who perform all day long during the fest.
  • Fruit Wine Tasting Sessions – Enjoy locally prepared fruit wines composed of berries and cherries.

Move On Leisure organises festival-time holidays in a manner that ensures you never lose out on those important seconds.

Why Travel to Meghalaya During Non-Blooming?

While all the limelight is hijacked by the cherry blossoms, Meghalaya offers thousands of gems of nature unknown to the map:

  • Living root bridges of Cherrapunji—UNESCO marvels built using tree roots.
  • Mawlynnong Village is the cleanest village in Asia, and the eco-tourism takes place in its purest form.
  • Dawki River – This is renowned due to the crystal clear water, whereby the boats appear to be suspended in the air.
  • Nohkalikai Falls – India's highest plunge waterfall, one of the pleasures to behold.
