Namaste
Laitlum Canyon ('end of hills' in Khasi) is best at sunrise before the mist burns off — arrive by 6 am. The Living Root Bridges near Cherrapunji (two-hour drive south) are one of the world's most extraordinary natural engineering feats: the Khasi people train the roots of rubber trees over decades to form living pedestrian bridges across ravines. The village of Mawlynnong near Dawki has been called 'Asia's cleanest village' and is immaculate.
Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood — rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.
