Day 3 Day Trip to Double Decker Living Root Bridge

After breakfast, drive to the starting point of the Double Decker Living Root Bridge trek.
Begin your trek from a village, descending through a forest with interesting bay-leaf plants.
Be cautious of the uneven, potentially slippery steps, especially during the rainy season.
The highlights of this trek are the Double Decker Root Bridge and natural swimming pools in the riverbed.
The steep trek down to the bridge is challenging, with steps becoming particularly slippery during the monsoon.
However, the sight of rivers in spate and waterfalls in full flow enhances the beauty of the root bridges.
These living root bridges, some over a hundred feet long, take 10-15 years to become fully functional and can support the weight of fifty or more people.
They grow stronger over time, and some ancient root bridges used daily around Cherrapunji are over a hundred years old.
After visiting the bridge, trek back to the starting point and drive to your resort by dusk.
Return to Cherrapunji in the evening for an overnight stay.

Day 4 Cherrapunjee - Day Trip to Mawlynnong & Dawki

The journey to the village takes you through winding roads with panoramic views, often traveling amidst the clouds of the Shillong plateau.
Upon arrival, enjoy a short hike to see the living root bridge, located about 400 meters from the roadside.
These bridges are remarkable examples of art and engineering, created through the collaboration of human ingenuity and nature.
The Khasi people have a long tradition of growing these bridges using the roots of the Ficus Elastica tree to cross rivers.
Explore the village and experience the unique lifestyle of its inhabitants.
Next, visit Dawki, located on the Indo-Bangladesh border, where you can take a boat ride on the crystal-clear Umngot River.
