Mawlynnong
Mawlynnong is a picturesque village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, often acclaimed as Asia's cleanest village due to its strict community-led cleanliness and sustainability practices. Located about 90 kilometers from Shillong near the India-Bangladesh border, it is inhabited by the Khasi tribe, who follow a matrilineal society where property and family name pass through the youngest daughter.
The village is surrounded by lush greenery, fruit orchards, and cool mountain streams, offering scenic views including the famous living root bridge of Nohwet, an ingenious natural bridge made from the roots of rubber trees woven over generations. Mawlynnong's residents are dedicated to maintaining their clean environment by recycling waste, harvesting rainwater, and banning plastic use, resulting in a spotless, pollution-free village with a 100% literacy rate.
The village also features a century-old Church of the Epiphany and tree houses that provide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and neighboring Bangladesh.
