Shillong Heritage and countryside trails

About this place

Shillong Heritage and countryside trails,Mawkyrwat is best for travellers who want offbeat Meghalaya—rural roads, open hill views, small local life, and slow travel. It’s not a “crowded tourist city,” but a calm base for exploring countryside scenery and discovering quieter viewpoints and seasonal landscapes. The experience here feels grounded: local markets, village-style food, and the beauty of Meghalaya without the rush.

History & highlights

The area’s history is tied to Khasi cultural landscapes and the way hill communities organised life around agriculture, local governance, and shared traditions. As administrative structures modernised, Mawkyrwat became a recognised city base, but it still reflects older rural Meghalaya rhythms. Its “history” is therefore the story of continuity—traditional life and modern administration existing side by side in a quieter part of the state.
