Camping in Meghalaya.

3 camping spots across Meghalaya — facilities, water access, permits, and honest reviews.

Dawki River Camp

Dawki

Camp on the India-Bangladesh border beside the crystal-clear Umngot River. Boat rides at dawn when the river looks like glass. One of India's most surreal camping experiences.

Mawphlang Sacred Forest Edge

Mawphlang

Camp at the edge of a centuries-old sacred forest where no leaf has been removed for generations. Morning walks into the Khasi sacred grove, stargazing at night.

Shnongpdeng

Camp on the bank of the crystal-clear Umngot River. Cliff jumping, kayaking, and campfire nights under Meghalaya stars. One of India's most Instagrammed camping spots.
