About the Shillong–Mawlynnong route
Mawlynnong, famous as "Asia's cleanest village", lies about 78 km south-east of Shillong in the East Khasi Hills, close to the India–Bangladesh border. The drive takes roughly 2.5 to 3 hours along winding, scenic hill roads via Pynursla, so a comfortable car and a driver used to the gradient make a real difference.
Most travellers pair Mawlynnong with Dawki, the Riwai Living Root Bridge and the Sky View watch-tower in a single day, since they all sit within a few kilometres of each other. Tell us at booking and we'll plan the loop so the day flows without backtracking.
Pick a hatchback for couples, a sedan for comfort, or an SUV / Innova for families and luggage — the roads near Mawlynnong are narrow in places, so many groups prefer a compact, nimble vehicle. Every fare below is one-way; you never pay for the empty return leg.
