Embark on an unforgettable journey through the enchanting landscapes of Northeast India with Mountains Chain Travel Pvt Ltd, where mist-laden hills meet vibrant culture and pristine nature. This carefully curated route takes you from the rolling Khasi Hills of Shillong, known as the "Scotland of the East," with its pine forests, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic peaks, to the serene village of Mawlynnong, acclaimed as Asia’s cleanest village, where cobbled paths, bamboo skywalks, and living root bridges immerse you in Khasi traditions.
