After breakfast, drive to Mawllynong, the cleanest village in Asia, also known as ‘God’s own garden’.

You will also be acquainted with the Khasi lifestyle, their culture, and their economy. 

 

A trek to the nearby Rewai Village is another interesting activity. Walk down a flight of almost 100 steps to witness nature’s wonder, Living-Root Bridge. The bridges are tangles of massive, thick roots, which the local people intertwine to form a bridge that can hold several people at a time. The root bridges, may be up to over a hundred feet long and take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional, but they become very strong in the process. The bridges live, keep growing, and strengthen over time. The useful lifespan of the bridges, is thought to be 500–600 years.

 

Later, drive to Dawki, a village of the Jaintia community whose prime occupation is fishing. Be mesmerized by the beauty of the Umngot River, the venue of the annual boat race held during March and April at Umsyiem. The Umngot itself is a prime fishing spot for fishermen in the villages. The river is also famous for its crystal clear water, so clear that when seen from a distance, it appears as if the boat is floating in mid-air! The Umngotriver is the natural boundary between RiPnar or Jaintia Hills and the HimaKhyrim of Khasi Hills, over which a single-span suspension bridge was constructed. This is the gateway to Bangladesh, where major export and import transactions take place. Enjoy an amazing country boat river ride. Drive up to the Bangladesh border.
