From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Mawlynnong Tour — Asia's Cleanest Village
Flower-lined lanes, bamboo sky-walks and living root bridges.
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.

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.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
