The drive
About the Cherrapunji–Mawlynnong route
Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong sit on the same southern ridge of the Khasi Hills but there is no expressway between them — the 83 km drive winds for about 2.5 to 3 hours along the Pynursla road, with valley views the whole way. A private cab is by far the most comfortable way to cover it.
Many travellers do Cherrapunji on one day and head towards Mawlynnong and Dawki the next; this transfer links the two without backtracking to Shillong. Your driver can time the run so you reach Mawlynnong with daylight to spare for the village and the Riwai Living Root Bridge.
Choose a sedan for couples or an SUV, Ertiga or Innova for families and luggage. Our drivers are based in Shillong, so every fare below already includes their drive out to Cherrapunji and back from Mawlynnong.
