LIVING ROOT BRIDGES - NONGRIAT

Description.

The living root bridges of Meghalaya, particularly in Nongriat, are a marvel of bio-engineering and natural beauty. These bridges are created by weaving the aerial roots of rubber trees over decades, resulting in sturdy structures that can support villagers and tourists alike. The trek to the famous Double Decker Root Bridge in Nongriat is a challenging yet rewarding experience, taking visitors through dense forests, cascading streams, and serene villages. The vibrant greenery and chirping of birds along the way make the journey as mesmerizing as the destination. These bridges are not only functional but also symbolize the harmonious relationship between the indigenous Khasi tribes and nature.
