On the 2nd day we explored cherrapunji/Sohra which is one of the most beautiful part of Meghalaya. It is known for its massive water falls such as Nohkalikai, Wah-kaba, Seven sister, Kynrem, Rainbow falls etc. It was winter so most of them were dry so we had to choose locations with out the water falls. We selected Mawphlang Sacred Forest and Nohkalikai because probably it is the only water fall to hold water in this season.Got wakaba falls as a bonus on the way to Nohkalikai.
Taxi fare for all the spots: 2500 rupee
Zero liter Zip lining cost: 500 rupee for 2 line and 300 rupee for single line.

Mawphlang Forest, Shillong, Meghalaya. India
Mawphlang is a village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya state in north-eastern India, 25 kilometers from Shillong. The word maw means stone, maw phlang means grassy stone, and is one of many settlements in the Khasi hills named after monoliths. The forest is called as the Sacred Forest. There are tour guides available to narrate a story of why the forest is sacred.
Mawphlang Sacred Forest of Khasi Tribe, Shillong, Meghalaya
Why you must visit the Sacred Grove (or Law Kyntang) of Hima Mawphlang in Shillong?
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited this place in May 2016!
The road to Mawphlang:
About 25 kilometers from Shillong in the “Abode of the Clouds” of Meghalaya, nestled in the Khasi hills and preserved by traditional religious sanction lies the remarkable Mawphlang Sacred Forest. Spread over 192 acres, the Sacred Grove is in sharp contrast to the surrounding green grasslands and is rimmed by a dense growth of Castanopsis Kurzii trees. The entrance is protected by 3 monolith stones similar to menhirs.
The local Khasi tribe has been preserving this forest for thousands of years and believe it to be the abode of the local deity called Labasa, who protects the forest. This Forest is guarded by one strict rule – “Nothing is allowed to be taken out of this Sacred Grove, not even a leaf, a stone or a dead log”.
Network of interconnected trees:
The Forest reveals an astonishing network of interconnected plants and trees, some of which are believed to be more than 1000 years old. The splendid flora presents a dramatic visual spectacle and worth capturing in digital memory.Over the years the forest ground has got a thick cover of hummus that supports growth of myriad varieties of plant life, many of which are found nowhere else.
Rudraksh tree, mushrooms, ferns, pines and other plant species:
There are several Rudraksh tree inside the grove, the seeds of which are used in religious ceremonies. The Sacred forest has rich flora of colourful mushrooms, pipers, ferns, orchids and endemic plants some of which are believed to pocesses medicinal properties. Locals believe some plants have the ability to cure TB and cancer.One of the peculiar plants that can be easily spotted inside is a Lily Cobra, which has a leaf and a twig that looks like head of the cobra.
Monoliths and sacrifice places:
Animal sacrifices are performed for the deity at stone temples inside the forest.The sacred forest is protected by the Lyngdoh clan, who believe that the deity protects the village. The local lore says that in 1970, the Army tried taking out the dead wood and trees from this forest but were unable to do so as the truck didn’t start even after trying multiple times.
These are monoliths or stone temples inside the forest. Locals visit these stone temples to pray, elect kings and discuss important matters concerning the tribe. Animal sacrifices are offered to the forest Gods at these stone temples as thanksgiving when the devotee’s prayers are answered or when a new King is elected.
The sprawling forest comes alive during the 3 day monolith festival organized by Khasi Heritage Conservation Forum to celebrate Mei Ramew (mother nature).
The Sacred Forest attracts tourists because of its physical beauty, sheer majesty, its many legends and folklore myths. Locals believe one cannot disrespect the forest rules else the deity would get angry. This belief has helped preserve the eco diversity of the Sacred Forest for thousands of years.
Additional tourist attraction - A Khasi Heritage Village has been set up by the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council opposite the Mawphlang Sacred Forest.

Mawphlang sacred grove tour : Meghalaya diaries part3
First ever exclusive video tour and introduction to the Mawphlang sacred grove. It is a protected area of forest, that has been kept in pristine and natural condition since centuries. People can't take out wood, plants, seeds, water, fruits, anything at all from this area. Visitors are allowed though. One can also consume any fruits, etc inside this forest if one wishes. Outsiders are not allowed during the ritual times.
It was started and still believed to be a sacred place, protected by deities. However, the ecological significance is huge. This kind of protected forest/groves needs to be replicated all around the world.
It is around 30mins walking trail for outer area and one hour for the full forest. We highly recommend it to the tourists. You can ask for guides at the entrance they are happy to help. Without guides, you won't understand the cultural significance and the identify the trees like the Rudraksha tree, medicinal plants,etc.
