Mawlynnong
Perched on Meghalaya’s southern edge, Mawlynnong promises scenic views, eco-wonders, and timeless Khasi traditions that offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage with its iconic living root bridge, lush landscapes, and century-old church.
Celebrated as Asia’s cleanest village and fondly called “God’s Own Garden”, Mawlynnong is surrounded by fruit orchards, swaying palms, and evergreen landscapes. The key highlights of the village is the iconic Nohwet Living Root Bridge– an extraordinary feat of indigenous engineering, made by weaving the roots of the Ficus elastica tree over generations. These bridges, unique to Khasi culture, grow stronger with time and symbolize nature’s resilience. Visitors can also cool off in the refreshing waters beneath the bridge. Another attraction is the century-old Church of the Epiphany, showcasing charming European architecture amidst tropical greenery. Whether you seek nature, heritage, or quiet reflection, Mawlynnong promises an experience rooted in beauty, sustainability, and cultural richness.
