Double Decker Root Bridge(Nongriat)
Nongriat, Meghalaya, null, Shella Bholaganj, East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, 793111
- Description
Set in the dense forests of Meghalaya, accessible by a 2 hours trek from Tyrna to Nongriat village in East Khasi Hills Disrict, this iconic bridge is made of 2 tree root entanglements. The root bridges of Meghalaya are an enigma, an integral part of the old Khasi lifestyle that dates back to the times when trekking through thick forests and negotiating fast-flowing rivers was a part of the routine. Double-decker root bridge is unique because of its multi-level formation – it took years for these beautiful examples of botanical architecture to develop. There are some pools nearby surrounded with rocks where you can sit and relax – the neatly maintained food stalls will ensure that you will not be famished after your journey.
