Overview

David Scott Trail Trek

The David Scott Trail is one of the most visited attractions in the northeastern part of India. The height of the David Scott Trail trek is approximately 4892 feet, a footpath providing a spectacular landscape. You can start this trek in two different ways, either you start your trekking from Lad-Mavfalong and end at Mawfalong, or you can start from Mawfalong and start from Lad-Mawphlang. 

The David Scott trail trek's difficulty level is easy to mid-level. When you start this trek, your first resting place is called "Ka Kho Kh Shinmai''. The place is named after the daughter of Dorsing Lyngdoh. While trekking you get out of the middle of dense vegetation, majestic mountains, rivers, and magnificent flowing waterfalls. After several winding paths, you reach the river. As soon as you are at the last point of trekking, you will see a Khasi village.


About David Scott Trail History

David Scott was a British Administrator and political agent to the British Raj. The David Scott Trail is a Pony-cart trail that he built from Cheerapunjee to Bangladesh. The trial caused a war between the Khasi people, led by U Tirot Singh, king of the Khadsawphra Syiemship, and the British. U Tirot Singh was defeated by the British in the war and was captured and deported to Dhaka (Now the capital of Bangladesh)
It is spread across 100km but the route that is used for trekking is a 16 km hiking route stretching from Mawphlang to Lad Mawphlang.

Separating the Assam valley from the plains of Bangladesh, hilly Meghalaya (the abode of clouds) is a cool, pine-fresh mountain state set on dramatic horseshoes of rocky cliffs. Cherrapunjee and Mawsynram are among the wettest places on Earth; most of the rain falls between June and September, creating very impressive waterfalls and carving out some of Asia longest caves.
