On the 2nd day of the tour, have a scrumptious breakfast and then proceed for the day excursion to Mawlynnong. This is the cleanest village in Asia and is renowned for its breathtaking beauty. During the sightseeing tour visit Jingmaham Living Root Bridge, which is a unique attraction and was built 300 years ago. This is a single decker man made bridge in Riwai and was built across a stream by twisting the aerial roots of Rubber trees around a Betel tree trunk. The roots of the tree keep growing out and weaving the trunk. The bridge is the only means for the villagers to cross the streams to reach the other side. Later, visit Mawlynnong Village, which is renowned as ‘God's own Garden’. It was awarded as the cleanest village in Asia by Discover India. The main attraction of the village is the Khasi tribe.
