Why November here
The practical stop between Shillong, Mawlynnong and Dawki, with its own canyon country.
Pynursla is the road town on the border highway: the practical fuel-and-food stop for the Mawlynnong-Dawki run, with community treks into the surrounding canyons and forest, and a quieter rhythm than the headline spots.
What to do

Village-run canyon and forest walks.
