David Scott was a British political agent who died in 1831, and the trail through the Khasi Hills that carries his name has been walked since the early 19th century – first as a colonial route connecting Assam and Sylhet, then as a trekking trail connecting Mawphlang to Lad Mawphlang across the same ridge lines the colonial administration found useful. The empire that built it has been gone for over a century. The 16-kilometre path remains. The david scott trail trek meghalaya runs through open meadow, stream crossings and ridge stretches where the Khasi Hills give a width of view that no forest section can.
Bon handles the vehicle from Guwahati Airport or Railway Station with Night 1 in Shillong to rest before the trek. Day 2 is the full trail from Mawphlang to Lad Mawphlang, approximately 16 kilometres one way with the driver meeting the group at the far end. Night 2 returns to Shillong. Day 3 moves through Mawphlang Sacred Forest before crossing to Cherrapunji for Nights 3 and 4. Day 4 covers the plateau edge. Day 5 closes at Guwahati Airport or Railway Station. Local guide charges at the Mawphlang trailhead are paid separately on Day 2.
Explore all 5 destinations included in this itinerary.
Guwahati → Shillong → Mawphlang → Cherrapunji → Guwahati
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.

Main regular trekker hoon Himalayan treks kiye hain but ye trail different hai because it is not about reaching a peak it is about walking through a landscape that has not changed in 200 years and that rare feeling of walking in history is something you wont get anywhere else in India
5 din me trek complete kiya aur wapas aake office me kisi ko bata nahi paaya ki kya feel hota hai wahan because kuch cheezein sirf experience karke samajh aati hain words me nahi aati aur ye trek unme se ek hai, you just have to do it to understand it
David Scott trail is not your Instagram trek it is a real walk through history and forests and streams and by the time you finish your legs hurt badly but your soul feels lighter than it has felt in years, ye wala trek aapko andar se badal deta hai kuch na kuch
Suhani ji ne trek ke liye proper guidance di ki kya shoes laane hain kya pack karna hai kya nahi aur wahan pe guide bhi bahut experienced tha, Mawphlang se start hoke end tak har step yaadgar tha aur unhone jo preparation list di thi wo bahut kaam aayi trail pe
Kunal ji ne bola tha ki ye trek easy nahi hai but manageable hai agar pace accha rakho aur sahi bola, moderate difficulty thi but guide ne pace bahut accha control kiya aur lunch break jungle ke beech me karna was itself an experience I will never forget in my life
