A great off-the-grid place to kick back, Canadian-and-Khasi-owned Maple Pine Farm sits in a peaceful green valley below Mawphlang village, about 28km southwest of Shillong. There are four cosy wooden cabins, all electricity is solar- or wind-powered, and the good meal options (₹250 to ₹375) include Khasi and roast-chicken dinners. Check the website and contact them by email.
