Two months after devastating heavy rain and swollen rivers damaged bamboo trekking bridges, Mawryngkhang, at Wahkhen, will reopen for tourists from September 10.
June’s ferocious weather led to much destruction around the state and so it was also for the site at Wahkhen, where several of the famous bamboo trekking bridges were washed away.
The local tourism promotion society has been hard at work repairing the damage and has decided to reopen the route leading to Mawryngkhang rock, from September 10.
U Mawryngkhang is a huge standalone rock considered as the king of stones and is located at Wahkhen village, East Khasi Hills.
However,the society has warned the public not to throw plastic bags, bottles and non-degradable materials indiscriminately along the route to Mawryngkhang.
