How To Reach Muktapur Village

Jowai, Meghalaya, India
Border Life at Muktapur: Muktapur Village is a unique settlement located right on the international border between India and Bangladesh. It is a place where two cultures and geographies meet at the foot of the Jaintia Hills. The village is surrounded by vast betel nut groves and orange orchards, whi ch are the main source of income for the locals. Life here is slow and rhythmic, governed by the cycles of the seasons. The border is marked by a simple fence, and one can see the vast, flat plains of Bangladesh stretching out from the hilly Indian side. The village is known for its cleanliness and the hospitality of the Pnar and War tribes. Walking through the narrow lanes of the village, you will see traditional wooden houses and colorful gardens. The air is filled with the scent of tropical fruits and the sound of distant temple bells. Muktapur also serves as a trade point for local produce. The village is significantly warmer than Jowai due to its lower elevation. It offers a different perspective of Meghalaya, one that is closely tied to the geography of the neighboring country. The presence of the Border Security Force (BSF) adds a layer of discipline and safety to the area. It is a destination for those who want to experience the reality of border living in a peaceful setting.
