Quick 10–15 minute orientation to the project site area: observe settlement layout, local demonstration plots, and community structures to understand the context for nearby sacred groves and village life.
Short scenic drive (typically 10–20 minutes depending on exact start point) from the project site to the sacred grove; good chance to see Khasi village lanes and terraced slopes.
Guided or self‑guided walk through one of Meghalaya's most important sacred groves — an ancient patch of protected subtropical forest with huge trees, mossy rocks and cultural markers; visit to learn about Khasi ecology and conservation customs. (Groves are fragile so stay on paths and follow local rules.)
Short stroll (5–10 minutes) uphill toward a village viewpoint and nearby roadside stalls to see panorama of the valley and watch local life — great spot for photos and quick chats with villagers.
Enjoy chai and a local snack (pitha, fried rice cakes or samosa) at a village stall or homestay — a chance to taste Khasi roadside food and support local families.
