Mawlynnong isnt like the rest of India, or the rest of the world for that matter. Tucked into the jungle of the northeast Indian state of Meghalaya, on the border of Bangladesh, the village is home to the indigenous Khasi people.

The setting is also unique: lush, and so well-cared for, tourists across India visit to marvel at the lack of trash. huffingtonpost/2014/09/04/india-matrilineal-society-photography_n_5755590.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000046&ir=Women
