Mawlynnong was declared Asia's cleanest village and retains immaculate bamboo dustbin-lined streets and a sky walk through the forest canopy. Dawki's Umngot River is so transparently clear that boats appear to float on glass.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon season — heavy rainfall expected. Good for nature lovers, but outdoor travel can be challenging. (high crowds.)
