Overview
Three waterfalls on one circuit is not a common structure in Meghalaya’s trail system. The pdem falls mawkynrew meghalaya route delivers exactly that – Thangsning Falls as the forest opening, Pdem Falls as the main drop framed by cliffs and cloud, and BlewBlew Falls ten minutes further downstream as the quiet close. The approach to Pdem runs through sweeping grassland and riverside paths rather than the forest descents most Meghalaya waterfall trails use, giving the day a character that is specific to the Mawkynrew sub-division of the East Khasi Hills.
Bon handles the vehicle from Guwahati Airport or Railway Station with Shillong as Night 1 and a local homestay near the Mawkynrew area for Night 2. Day 2 covers all three falls with a packed local lunch from the Mawkynrew highland market between the Thangsning and Pdem legs. Day 3 returns to Guwahati Airport or Railway Station. Daily breakfast on CP basis throughout. This is a short-break package built for groups with three days and one destination in mind.

The pdem falls mawkynrew meghalaya tour picks up at Guwahati Airport or Railway Station for the 100-kilometre drive west through the Brahmaputra plains and into the East Khasi Hills, arriving in Shillong at 1,496 metres in approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Shillong is the Night 1 base - standard hotel infrastructure before the waterfall circuit tomorrow.
An early rest and an early alarm are the correct use of the first evening. The three-waterfall day has a morning leg, a market stop and an afternoon section and benefits from starting before the road south of Shillong gets heavy.
The drive from Shillong to the pdem falls mawkynrew meghalaya circuit covers approximately 55 to 70 kilometres south through the East Khasi Hills to the Mawkynrew sub-division. The day begins at Thangsning Falls - a forest waterfall that settles the group before the main event. From Thangsning the drive continues to Mawkynrew Market where a packed local lunch is assembled before the trail starts.
The 25-minute trek to Pdem Falls moves through grassland and riverside path rather than forest descent - a walking character the Khasi Hills rarely offers at this level. Pdem drops 20 to 25 metres into a pool framed by cliff and cloud. BlewBlew Falls sits 10 minutes further downstream and closes the circuit before the return to the overnight homestay.
Morning at the homestay before checkout and the drive northeast to Shillong takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. From Shillong the highway continues down through Nongpoh and across the Brahmaputra plains to Guwahati Airport or Railway Station, a total return drive of approximately 4 to 4.5 hours.
The pdem falls mawkynrew meghalaya tour closes here. Afternoon and evening departures are comfortably in reach. Groups with earlier departure windows should flag timing with the Bon team at booking so the morning checkout can be structured with enough buffer

Best Time to Visit
Meghalaya stays cool year-round. Shillong enjoys pleasant weather (15°C–25°C), while Cherrapunji and Mawsynram receive heavy monsoons (June–September), creating dramatic waterfalls. Winters (October–February) are crisp and dry (4°C–16°C), perfect for exploring living root bridges, crystal-clear Dawki river, and limestone caves. October to April is the best time for sightseeing, trekking, and clear valley views.
