Mawlynnong in June
Meghalaya, India
Monsoon roads become nearly impassable, isolating the village despite its peak greenery
June monsoon hits — the village handles it gracefully (cleanest village, after all) but getting there is the problem.
The June story
Road from Shillong becomes risky. Village itself is fine but the journey is uncomfortable. Not recommended.
Why June scores 2.0/10
Weather
Monsoon. 16-22°C. Heavy rain. Village still clean but access difficult.
