Mawlynnong Tour Package

Travel from Shillong or another agreed pickup point to Mawlynnong, enjoying the countryside of the East Khasi Hills along the way. On arrival, check in to your homestay or nearby accommodation and take a guided walk through the village lanes. Notice the gardens, traditional homes and community-maintained pathways that make Mawlynnong distinctive.

Visit the village’s Sky View Point, a bamboo structure that offers views towards the Bangladesh plains when weather and access permit. Climbing is subject to local safety rules and may be restricted in wet or windy conditions. Spend the evening enjoying the quiet village atmosphere and an overnight stay nearby.

After breakfast, head to nearby Riwai to visit its famous living root bridge. The bridge is formed from the aerial roots of rubber trees guided over time by local communities. Reach it via a series of steps and forest paths; the route can be slippery after rain, so take care and allow enough time for the walk.

Continue to Balancing Rock, a natural rock formation near the village, and explore any additional local trails with a community guide if available. Keep to established paths and avoid littering or disturbing the natural surroundings. Return to your accommodation for the evening.

Enjoy breakfast and a final walk through Mawlynnong, perhaps visiting small local stalls for handmade items or regional snacks. If you wish to interact with residents or photograph homes and gardens, ask permission first. The village is a living community, so visitors are encouraged to keep noise low and respect private spaces.

Check out and drive back towards Shillong or continue to Dawki and other pre-arranged destinations. Travel time depends on road conditions and your next stop. Your 3-day Mawlynnong visit concludes with a transfer from the village.
