Just about 30 minutes drive from Mawkasiang the Orchid lake Resort Mawkasiang on 27 acres of prime land surrounded by pine forests at Shillong, which is part of the proposed New Shillong township.The resort with 20 log cabins (cottages) built amidst a luxuriant pine dotted surroundings should be a guest’s delight. They look out onto verdant hills and the cool morning zephyr brings in that aroma of pine leaves.
