Day 4: David Scott Trek

Untouched by civilization, this trek is an adventurous ride through history discovered as early as the 1800s. The beauty of this trek is that it can be done by people of all ages. You can choose to take the shorter route if you have children and old people for company.

Day 5: Mawlynnong Village

• Mawlynnong village, referred to as ‘God’s own garden’, has won the acclaim of being the cleanest village in Asia. The living root bridge happens to be the star attraction of the place. A root which is tangled across a thin strip of stone bridge makes it look stunning above the stream of water which then ended its course in a fall. It also houses an 80 feet high "machan' or observatory made of bamboo shoots. From here, you can view the natural abundance of the place and you can also view Bangladesh from here. Stay in the village at a homestay tonight and live like a local.
