Nongriat in March
Meghalaya, India
Go in March — the last dry window before monsoon, trails are navigable, but start before 7am to avoid brutal midday heat on the climb.
Peak crowds
March is one of Nongriat's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Northeast trek destination busiest Oct–Mar after monsoon when root bridges are dry and trails passable; Jun–Aug monsoon rain makes access difficult.
March Nongriat is the last comfortable dry month. The heat is building but mornings are still pleasant for the descent.
The March story
Start the descent by 7am. By 10am the stone steps radiate heat and the climb back up becomes a punishment.
