Siatbakon Retreat

Siatbakon Retreat is tucked away in the serene village landscape of Nongshyrngan, near Dawki and Pynursla, offering a peaceful escape into the heart of Meghalaya’s hill country. Surrounded by rolling green hills, misty mornings, and fresh mountain air, it is a welcome hideaway for travelers who want to slow down and connect with nature without sacrificing modern comforts. The property is designed for both couples and families, with a couple-friendly atmosphere that still feels relaxed, safe, and welcoming. With reliable electricity and CCTV security, guests can unwind knowing their stay is comfortable and well looked after. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected when you need it, whether you’re sharing photos of turquoise Dawki waters or catching up on remote work from a quiet corner. A standout feature of the retreat is its swimming pool, an unexpected luxury in this part of Meghalaya. After a day of exploring Mawlynnong or boating on the Umngot River near Dawki, guests can return for a refreshing dip or relax poolside while taking in the hills around them. The on-site restaurant adds to the ease of the stay, serving warm meals so you don’t have to wander far after sunset. Parking facilities make it convenient for those arriving by self-drive car or hired cab, and the retreat’s good road reachability ensures that despite feeling secluded, it remains accessible from Shillong and Guwahati. This balance of remoteness and convenience is a key part of its charm. Nearby, Mawlynnong Village—often celebrated as one of the cleanest villages in Asia—invites slow, mindful walks through spotless lanes, bamboo walkways, and viewpoints overlooking Bangladesh’s plains. Dawki, with its famously clear Umngot River, offers boat rides where you can often see pebbles resting on the riverbed beneath your boat. Day trips to these attractions are easy to plan from the retreat, making it a great base for exploring the southern stretches of Meghalaya. Whether you’re planning a quiet couple’s escape, a family break, or a friends’ road trip, Siatbakon Retreat offers the essentials of a comfortable stay—secure premises, parking, connectivity, dining, and a pool—wrapped in the raw natural beauty that makes this region so memorable.
