Why January here
Bamboo dustbins, skywalk views to Bangladesh and the Nohwet root bridge.
Mawlynnong built a reputation as India’s cleanest village: swept lanes, bamboo dustbins and community-run stays. The bamboo skywalk in the Riwai grove lifts you into the canopy, and the Nohwet living root bridge sits minutes from the village square.
