Living root bridges and the wettest hills in India

Duration

Starting From

₹22,999 /person

Best Time

October to May; the root bridge trek gets slippery in the June-September monsoon.

Overview

Meghalaya is built around Shillong and Cherrapunji's waterfalls, but the real draw is Nongriat's living root bridges — a couple of hours' trek down (and, more strenuously, back up) a jungle valley to see rubber-tree roots trained into footbridges by the Khasi people over generations. We flag the trek's difficulty upfront so nobody signs up expecting a leisurely walk.

Trip Highlights

  • Double-Decker Living Root Bridge trek, Nongriat
  • Nohkalikai Falls and Seven Sisters Falls, Cherrapunji
  • Mawsmai limestone caves
