Meghalaya Episode 3, Mawryngkhang (Wahkhen) Bamboo trek.

The Bamboo Trail Meghalaya or Mawryngkhang Trek is the latest addition in the adventure activities in Meghalaya. Located in the Pynursla sub-division, the Khasi village Wahkhen lies on the popular Shillong to Dawki route. Pomlum village lies on this route from where you have to take a detour.

At Pomlum, you will see a signboard that will point towards the right direction to take to reach Wahkhen village, about 7 km away.

The trail runs along a mountain cliff along the Wahrew River until it reaches the top of a huge single rock, U Mawryngkhang. The huge rock stands tall amidst the river valley surrounded by forests commanding its mighty presence over the surroundings.
