    October 4, 2020 - By 

    Continuing from my previous Day 5 blog, this is the last day in Meghalaya and I am going for the Scariest trek of Meghalaya which is the Mawryngkhang trek aka Bamboo trek.

Not many people are aware about this trek or trail, so, I would go in little detail about this place so that you wouldn’t have problem planning this place in your Meghalaya itinerary.
