About the Mawlynnong–Shillong route
After Mawlynnong and the nearby Riwai Living Root Bridge, most travellers head back to Shillong, about 78 km and 2.5 to 3 hours away via the Pynursla road. A private cab makes the winding return comfortable and lets you stop wherever you like.
Booking the return in advance means no waiting around for shared transport in the afternoon. If you have not seen Dawki yet, your driver can fit in the Umngot River on the way — just ask.
Choose a sedan for couples or an SUV, Ertiga or Innova for families and luggage. Fares below are one-way for the Mawlynnong to Shillong leg and already include the empty drive out from Shillong to pick you up.
