Thlumuwi Stone Bridge is an old historical bridge built over Muwi stream by warriors of Jaintia Hills. The Bridge was built under the order of the Jaintia kings as it was the route used by Jaintia Rajas while travelling from their Summer Capital Nartiang to their Winter Capital Jaintiapur. It was made of immense slabs of stone supported upon huge, tall stone pillars. It is around 500 years old but was broken when an elephant tried to crossing it. Now, there is a 50 years old Steel Bridge and a 10 year old RCC Bridge just next to this bridge.
