Tourist Attractions

1. Living Root Bridge (Riwai Village)
   Just a short walk from Mawlynnong, this bio-engineered marvel is formed by guiding the roots of rubber trees across streams. A natural bridge that grows stronger over time, it’s one of Meghalaya’s most iconic sights.

2. Sky View Point
   This 85-feet high bamboo tower offers panoramic views of the Bangladesh plains. On a clear day, you can see miles into the neighboring country — a breathtaking experience especially during sunrise or sunset.

3. Mawlynnong Village Itself
   Every corner of the village is a photo opportunity. Spot handwoven bamboo baskets, stone walkways, lush green gardens, and traditional thatched-roof houses built on stilts.

4. Balancing Rock
   An intriguing natural phenomenon, this large boulder precariously balanced on a smaller stone has defied gravity for centuries and is a source of local folklore.

5. Church of the Epiphany
   A 100-year-old Anglican church built with native materials, reflecting British-era influence mixed with local architecture.
