About the Shillong–Mawsynram route
Mawsynram holds the record as the wettest inhabited place on Earth, about 60 km south-west of Shillong. The drive is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours through rolling Khasi hills via Mawphlang, often wrapped in mist and cloud — atmospheric, but a reason to travel with a driver who knows the road in low visibility.
The headline sight is Mawjymbuin Cave, where mineral-rich water has shaped a large stalagmite that locals revere as a Shiva-linga. The surrounding viewpoints and waterfalls are spectacular in and just after the monsoon, when the whole landscape runs with water.
Many visitors combine Mawsynram with the Mawphlang Sacred Forest and the David Scott Trail as an easy day from Shillong. Choose a sedan, SUV, Ertiga or Innova. Every fare below is one-way and already includes the empty return drive to Shillong.
