Best Time to Visit Meghalaya

Winter (November - February): This dry and cool season also offers the best conditions for exploring Meghalaya's innumerable natural wonders—the living root bridges, caves, and misty waterfalls. There are accessible hiking trails during this time. In Kaziranga, lowered vegetation makes wildlife spotting easier on thrilling jeep or elephant safaris to view one-horned rhinos, elephants, and many more.

Pre-Monsoon (March - April): Spring scenes of Meghalaya become pleasurable with lush greenery, and temperatures moisten during the spring arrival for any kind of tour. Kaziranga is at its wildlife best just before the rains with lots of acts in tracking down animals like tigers and deer, or even trying your hand at some of the bird life before this park closes down for the monsoon in the middle of May.

Monsoon season(May to September): The heavy rains turn Meghalaya into a green paradise, and the gushing waterfalls are in full splendor, as in the case of Nohkalikai Falls. However, many trails and root bridges may be closed for safety. Kaziranga remains shut during this wet season as the park gets flooded.

Post-Monsoon (October): Most of these trekking routes reopen soon after monsoons while the landscapes of Meghalaya begin to dry up. Activities at Kaziranga National Park thus open its doors by the middle of October. Even the animals come out to the newly rejuvenated grasslands that have turned green again, making it an excellent go-to place.
