• Kongthong - The Whistling Village (Jingrwai Iawbei):

    • Experience: Located in the East Khasi Hills, Kongthong is globally unique for its tradition where every individual is given a distinctive, personalized tune (whistle) by their mother at birth, which serves as their name.
    • Cultural Immersion: Visitors can witness this melodic communication firsthand, experience the profound connection between the community and nature (as the tunes are often inspired by natural sounds), and understand the deep symbolism behind this "song name" system. It's a truly once-in-a-lifetime auditory and cultural experience.
