I am from Bangladesh and visited this village in April 2011. It is a good place to pay a visit. Recommended for all the visitors. But all should show respect to the efforts they are making to keep their village clean.

Mawlynnong was as clean as they claim to be. It was awesome to see the vilagers volunteer to keep it spotlessly clean and maintain the environ that it reputed to have. The clean lanes, rivers, gardens and guest houses etc surely are an example for other villages to follow and infact a lesson for us city folks too! We should bring that culture to Shillong too (Although I still think that Shillong is one of the cleanest city if not THE cleanest). It was also amazing that the villagers at Mawlynnong used everything that nature provides them for all their constructions which, to me, blended very well with their surrounding and complemented everything that was around the area! A DEFINITE MUST see for all who have not!

Yeah its an amazing experience to visit Mawlinnong, a real painting of Nature.This village is about 75 kms frm Shillong and boardered with Bangladesh seems unique in the cleanliness.The innocent village people seems so coperative and harworking in nature.Most of them speaks English as well as Khasi.The flaura n fauna,greenaries, gardens,valleys, root bridges,water supply system through bamboo pipes,agriculture,ethinicity etc etc are really worth seeing and we ‘ve to observe the eco-friendly nature created by the villagers.What a marvellous experiment it is.We shot a lots of pictures,little movie in digital camera.Yes ‘ mawlinnong’ is a wonder to be copied by all Indian villages.
