Mawlynnong Village(“God’s own Garden”) is known as the
cleanest village in Asia, located about 80 km away from Shillong(2 Hours 30 mins trip), It’s a beautiful place to visit and spend the day
or two but in recent times the number of people going there has increased and
it’s really crowded during the holidays.

Well the environment there is really good and the main
attraction where people rush to see is the Living Root Bridge(“Jingkieng Jri”) in Nohwet, a bridge made
from the roots of trees crafted by the people there, the Natural Balancing Rock,
the Pengshuwa Falls and Monkey Falls(Kshaid Wahshrieh) and many more sites.
If
your going to Mawlynnong then don’t miss the view from the Sky Walk, you can
see parts of Bangladesh when the sky is clear from the top of the Sky Walk, it’s
made from bamboo and may seem daunting at first.
Well during our visit to Mawlynnong, we spend about half an
hour only as it soon got crowed as many people came for a picnic there on that
day.
If you really want to see the village and its cleanliness
it’s best if you visit it and spend some time there.
So we head on to Riwai and Nohwet, they are villages nearby
Mawlynnong only and have a similar surrounding as Mawlynnong, we spend the day
visiting the
Living Root Bridge (
more here) and the viewpoint at Nohwet,know more on Nohwet from
nohwet.com.
