This Mawlyngbna travel guide will help you plan an enjoyable holiday at the village that is located in the East Khasi Hills. The village has a particular attraction for tourists who love natural attractions, geology and community tourism. With the unique Mawsiangjroi crevice to the serene Umkhakoi Lake, there is a lot to see in the village. About Mawlyngbna Mawlyngbna is a village in the state of Meghalaya, in the region of East Khasi Hills near Mawsynram. It has evolved as a tourist destination that combines community tourism and adventure activities. Village Mawlyngbna is popular due to its abundance of fossils and other natural wonders. Moreover, Meghalaya Tourism features Mawlyngbna for its crevice walk, Umkhakoi Lake, Split Rock, and beautiful views towards the plains of Bangladesh. Where Is Mawlyngbna Located? Mawlyngbna is located in East Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, about 78 kilometers away from Shillong, as per the present tourism list of destinations in Meghalaya. Mawlyngbna is near Mawsynram, which makes it convenient to visit both together. Why Is Mawlyngbna Famous? Mawlyngbna is known for its marine fossils, Mawsiangjroi gully, Umkhakoi lake, Split rock, falls, and adventure sports. The fossil-rich land provides visitors with an insight into the geological past of this region, whereas the forests and rocks add attraction to this place. What Makes Mawlyngbna Different from Other Meghalaya Destinations? Most tourist attractions in Meghalaya are either associated with waterfalls, caves, or living root bridges. Mawlyngbna, however, offers visitors a lot more on one stop alone. Visitors can go fossil hunting in the morning, traverse a natural fissure, engage in kayaking in a lake, and experience life in a Khasi village all at once. This mix of geology, adventure and community tourism is what makes Mawlyngbna different. The Geological Wonders of Mawlyngbna There are fossil-bearing formations near Mawlyngbna that indicate the prehistoric marine formation of the area. It is one of the most fascinating things for tourists interested in geology to do in Meghalaya. Mawlyngbna Fossil Park The region with lots of fossils is one of the most important Mawlyngbna places to visit. Depending on the route, people can observe fossils in rock formations on the surface A local guide is helpful because he knows where to find the evidence and can tell the geological story behind the rocks without disturbing them. Mawsiangjroi \u2014 The Famous Crevice Walk What Is the Mawsiangjroi Crevice? Mawsiangjroi is an extremely narrow, vertical crevice located near Mawlyngbna. The main part of the attraction has a large crack with ladders linking different platforms. According to Meghalaya Tourism, the crevice is roughly 5 feet wide with a drop of 60 feet approximately. Roots of trees hang overhead, and the dark regions of the crevice serve as habitats for bats, birds, and many other small animals. How Was the Crevice Formed? Crevice is usually related to the 1897 Assam earthquake, which was considered one of the largest recorded earthquakes in the area. Meghalaya Tourism describes the earthquake as the geological phenomenon responsible for the creation of Mawsiangjroi. What to Expect on the Crevice Walk Do not expect an ordinary sightseeing stroll as your journey will include going down through rugged terrain, ladder climbing and negotiating narrow passages to go from one level to another within the crevice. The tree roots give an impressive natural canopy, while some chambers also have stalactites and stalagmites formations. Once you come out, the rocky terrain gives impressive vistas into the Bangladesh plains. Difficulty Level and Safety The crevice needs special attention, particularly if the rocks are wet. You should wear footwear that has great traction and not attempt the trail without the help of local residents. A guide from the community is advised due to the nature of the trail and slippery surfaces. Umkhakoi Lake Umkhakoi lake is one of the very peaceful places to visit in Mawlyngbna. The lake is encircled by beautiful forested hills and fascinating rocks. According to Meghalaya Tourism, it is a famous location for kayaking and other aquatic adventures.
