Mawlynnong in March
Meghalaya, India
Go in March—spring foliage and clear skies make photography excellent, but arrive mid-week to avoid Shillong weekend spillover crowds.
Peak crowds
March is one of Mawlynnong's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Weekend daytrippers from Shillong crowd the village. Weekday or overnight is better.
March brings spring green to the already manicured village. Perfect weather for walking and photography.
The March story
March is ideal — warm, green, and the village is photogenic. Sky walk offers clearest views. Combine with Dawki and Cherrapunji for a 2-day loop.
