Ever Living Museum (Khasi Heritage Room)
Attraction

Ever Living Museum (Khasi Heritage Room)★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
A small room beside the Dorbar Hall holding traditional Ksing drums, Duitara string instruments, buffalo-horn flutes and ceremonial baskets — the village's own archive of what matters. An old Khasi man may walk in and play a note for you.

Mawlynnong Bamboo Restaurant
Restaurant

Mawlynnong Bamboo Restaurant★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Serves Jadoh, Dohneiiong and other Khasi staples hot from the clay pot. No menu, no prices on the wall — you eat what the grandmother is cooking that morning. Go early, before the tourist crowd reaches the root bridge.

Betel Nut Groves Walk
Attraction
Sep 28
Betel Nut Groves Walk★★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Walk south from the village through the betel palm groves towards the Bangladesh border. The trees lean into the mist, red fruit hanging; the path ends at a bluff where you can see the plains of Bangladesh spread out flat and green.
