Sacred Groves of Mawphlang, protected by the Khasi tribe!
The forest is home to old coronation and sacrificial sites. This was where Khasi kings and ceremonial leaders (Ki Lyngdoh) had their meetings and new chiefs were anointed here. The sites are marked with monoliths, still reminders of a dignified past as the forest creeps around them.
Visitors are not allowed to take anything away from this hallowed forest, not even a pebble or a twig.

MISHA & JOHNSON, MUMBAI
To be honest, I wasn’t very comfortable with someone else planning my trip. But all those apprehensions were put to rest once I spoke with Ritu. She went beyond just asking for our trip budget and asked us about what we like doing on vacations, what kind of stay we prefer, activities, food preference and a lot more. She designed the itinerary to perfection. We didn’t have to worry about anything!!!
