Meghalaya in April 2027: Weather, Places to Visit & Travel Tips

One of the best months: warm, mostly dry days, good for root bridge treks, with Dawki still fairly clear.

April is spring in Meghalaya. Days in Shillong are a comfortable 13–24 °C, the hills are turning green again and it's a good month for the living root bridge treks. The Umngot at Dawki is still clear for most of the month. Pre-monsoon thunderstorms can roll in on some afternoons, especially late in the month, and the summer-holiday rush starts towards the end.
