BIODIVERSITY OF MAWLYNNONG AND DAWKI


We've already learned about Mawlynnong's culture and food, so let's look at its biodiversity. Mawlynnong is a village in the Meghalaya state of North East India's East Khasi Hills district. It is notable for its cleanliness and was named Asia's cleanest village by Discover India magazine. The town of Mawlynnong is well-known for its cleanliness. The waste is collected in bamboo dustbins, directed to a pit, and then used as manure. A community initiative requires all residents to participate in village cleanup. Tobacco use and the use of polythene are prohibited, while rainwater harvesting is encouraged.

Weather Of Mawlynnong

Mawlynnong is one of the wettest places in the country, and while much of India is experiencing drought-like conditions this year, the southwestern monsoon has not let the northeast down. Throughout the year, Mawlynnong has a pleasant climate. Summers in the region (March to June) are pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 24°C. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are common during the monsoon season, which lasts from June to September. The winter months of December through February are bitterly cold. This is due to the abundance of greenery and a small waterfall that surrounds the village. During the monsoon, the roads are in poor condition, with frequent landslides and foggy weather.


Flora And Fauna Of Mawlynnong

 The villagers are spreading the message of conserving nature and they are trying on their own way to keep the virgin forest intact and in preserving nature. On a visit during monsoon, one can find beautiful flowers and orchids in bloom in the trees in the forest. The hill of Khasi is covered with dense forests. Some of these forests are hundreds of years old. A great variety of plants grow here. Some of the plants that grow here are teak and sal trees, pine, bamboo, and other canes, vines, rubber plants, many kinds of succulents, parasites, herbs, medicinal plants, and more than 300 varieties of orchids. Oranges, jackfruits, pineapples, and edible mushrooms are commonly found on Khasi hill. Here is a plant most school children have read about – the carnivorous pitcher plant. It is also found in Mawlynnong. People there call it Tiew Rakot‘ which means demon flower‘ or Memang Koksi‘ which means basket of the Devil‘ and Kset Phare‘ where kset‘ means net with a lid‘ and phase which means fly.

Dawki Biodiversity

Dawki is a border town in southern Meghalaya that serves as an excellent base for exploring nearby Shnongpdeng and Darrang, two well-known riverside camps. As the hills of Northern Bangladesh merge into the plains, you will see a blending of cultures and changing topography. As you watch the lights glow above the neighbouring plains over the gentle, dark river in the evening, the scenery is breathtaking. Tamabil is another name for Dawki. It is a small town on the border between India and Bangladesh. Dawki, located in the Jaintia hills of Meghalaya, is an important trade route between India and Bangladesh. Despite the fact that the area is heavily patrolled by border patrols from India and Bangladesh, Dawki lacks a fenced border between these two countries, making this a friendly border.
