- 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.
