Overview

Experience the extraordinary wonder of walking across a living root bridge, where you step into nature's own architectural masterpiece. The living root bridges of Meghalaya are remarkable natural structures created by the ingenious Khasi people, who guide the aerial roots of Ficus Elastica trees across rivers and streams, allowing them to take root and strengthen over centuries. These ancient bridges, some hundreds of years old, remain fully functional and continue to serve local communities while blending seamlessly into the pristine landscape. Unlike the more popular tourist destinations, this unexplored root bridge offers a serene and authentic experience, allowing you to appreciate these incredible structures and the surrounding wilderness without crowds. This journey showcases the perfect harmony between human ingenuity and nature's resilience.
