About this experience
From Wahkhen village a trail of bamboo bridges and walkways, built and repaired by the villagers, clings to the cliffs above the Wah Rew river and climbs to Mawryngkhang, the “King of Stones”, a rock tower with views across the Khasi Hills.
It is a thrilling half-day walk rather than a hard trek. We drive you from Shillong, pay the trail entry and give you a guide from the village.
