Day 5 – CHERRAPUNJI – MAWLYNNONG/ DAWKI
Start for what is known as Asia’s cleanest village, Mawlynnong. The drive is a beautiful one so, sit back and relax but don’t get too relaxed to not take a break or two on the way, just to soak in the beauty around. But before heading to the Mawlynnong village, we will take a detour towards another interesting place to see in Meghalaya, the international border between India and Bangladesh at Dawki! Boating on the transparent rivers (in the dry season) of the Umngkot River is a great experience when you are at Dawki. You can go to the Ziro point, where India and Bangladesh meet and you can also buy a snack or two, from the other side, using Indian money. From there, you will drive to the India-Bangladesh border gate that separates the twin towns of Tamabil and Dawki on both sides of the border. Coming back to Mawlynnong, perched atop a bunch of hills, the village sits right at the frontier between India and Bangladesh. Walk up the sky bridge to have a look at the Bangladesh plains below. Check in to a very simple but nice village home for the night and have your dinner there. No option of eating out today. Also, on your way, stop by at the village of Riwai and visit the Living Root Bridge there.
