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.
About this place
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.
