Nestled just a short walk from the legendary Mawphlang Sacred Forest, this unique homestay offers more than just accommodation—it offers an entry into a spiritual world where ancient trees whisper stories, and the land breathes with ancestral energy.
The property is hosted by a local from the region, offering guests the opportunity to take personalized one-on-one guided tours (available at an additional charge). These immersive experiences explore the unseen parts of the forest, rituals, and stories that most travelers never hear.
Whether you're a seeker of spirituality, a lover of nature, or someone looking to explore one of the most mysterious and revered forests in India—this is the place where your journey begins.
Nikhil Star is not just a host—he is a storyteller, a guardian of tradition, and a member of the indigenous Khasi tribe. Born and raised in the hills of Meghalaya, Nikhil carries deep knowledge of the forest and its deity culture, oral history, and sacred traditions.
With a warm heart and a passion to share his roots, he offers more than a stay—he offers connection. Guests are welcomed not just into his home but into his world of stories, beliefs, and sacred places passed down for generations.
If you're curious, respectful, and open, Nikhil is always happy to take you along on a journey that will change the way you see nature and spirit forever.
Welcome to Mawphlang – a serene village wrapped in mists and legends, just steps away from the famed Sacred Grove of Mawphlang. The forest is protected not only by the community but by tradition itself—no item, not even a leaf or a stone, may be taken out of the forest.
The community here lives by the sacred laws of nature and spirit. If you're someone who respects these boundaries and wishes to understand the deeper layers of this culture, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Come with reverence, leave with gratitude. The forest sees all—and welcomes only those who come with heart.
