Dawki and Mawlynnong to Shilong
After breakfast, leave for Mawlynnong, a tiny village on the Indo Bangladesh border, which has earned the distinction of being the cleanest village in Asia.
On the way, we will visit the Dawki; a small border town located on Jaintia Hills and is famous for river Umngot. The river with its greenish-bluish water is so clear that one can see the bottom of the river even from as high as the bridge over the river. Enjoy boating on the crystal clear water of the lake where one will feel like floating over a big aquarium. Dawki, also known as Tamabil, is the border of the Countries of India and Bangladesh and an important trade route. It gives you an opportunity to reach the famous Pillar numbered 1275 that marks the International Border.
We will continue to travel towards Mawlynnong, God's own garden. Villagers have transformed this village into a picture postcard by planting many flowering plants alongside the footpaths and around their houses. Every villager participates in voluntarily cleaning up the village on a daily basis. In this picturesque village, we shall walk for about 20-30 minutes on hilly slope to reach Living root bridge. The roots of two huge trees have gotten intertwined, spanning across the river to form the bridge. In the afternoon, drive back to Shillong and overnight stay at Shilong.
