Pass through

Pynursla in October

The trailhead town on the Bangladesh-border road.

Quick answer. Post-monsoon. Rivers and falls still strong, skies clearing, the harvest festival period begins. For Pynursla specifically, October is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why October 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

Community treks

Village-run canyon and forest walks.
