Tucked in the Khasi Hills, Mawlynnong is celebrated as Asia's cleanest village, with spotless lanes, flower-filled gardens and a strong community spirit. A bamboo sky-walk offers treetop views, while a short walk away lies a living single-decker root bridge. Most South Indian travellers fly to Guwahati and drive via Shillong, so flights add to the land price. It pairs beautifully with nearby Dawki for a memorable day out.

Why visit Mawlynnong

Mawlynnong is a rare example of community-led cleanliness, with tidy lanes, flowering gardens and warm Khasi hospitality. Add a bamboo sky-walk and a living root bridge nearby, and it becomes one of Meghalaya's most charming half-day stops.

Things to see and do

Highlights within and around the village include:

  • Wander the spotless flower-lined lanes
  • Climb the bamboo sky-walk for canopy views
  • Walk to the Riwai single-decker root bridge
  • See the curious Balancing Rock

How to reach Mawlynnong

Fly into Guwahati (GAU), then drive via Shillong, around three hours away. Most travellers visit on a day trip from Shillong, often with Dawki, and flights add to the land package price.

Best time to visit

October to April brings pleasant, drier weather ideal for walking the village and root-bridge trail. The monsoon is lush and green but wet, so pack a light rain layer if you travel then.

Travel tips

Respect the village's efforts by carrying your litter out and keeping noise low. Comfortable shoes help on the short root-bridge walk, and combining Mawlynnong with Dawki makes for a satisfying full day.
