Living Root Bridge Trek

Meghalaya prides itself as a place where people live at one with nature and probably the most powerful example of that is the amazing phenomenon of the living root bridge. These bridges created out of the secondary roots of the rubber fig tree by Khasi villagers have to be seen to be believed: they are like something taken straight out of Tolkien’s fictional Middle Earth. You can find a number of such bridges spanning streams next to villages in the East Khasi Hills and all are accessible from Cherrapunji. But the Mother Goddess of them all is the totally unique one-of-a-kind double decker living root bridge found deep down in a river valley next to the village of Nongriat.
