Destination
Mawphlang Sacred Grove
A protected Khasi forest where tradition still holds the trees.
West Khasi Hills
Mawphlang’s sacred grove is among Meghalaya’s best-known Law Kyntang — a forest conserved by community custom. Walking here is less about adventure ticking and more about listening: moss, old trees, and stories of why certain places remain untouched. It sits on the West Khasi Hills route that TRIS highlights alongside East Khasi and Jaintia destinations.
Interesting factSome rare and endangered plant species can still be found thriving within the forest.
