Double Decker Root Bridge Trek
The Double Decker Root Bridge Trek is one of the most iconic and unforgettable hiking experiences in India. Located in the village of Nongriat in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills, the trek leads visitors through dense subtropical forests, steep stone stairways, suspension bridges, and crystal-clear streams to reach one of the world's most remarkable examples of bioengineering. The famous Double Decker Living Root Bridge has been formed over generations by guiding the aerial roots of rubber fig trees across streams until they naturally create a strong and durable bridge. Unlike conventional bridges, these living structures continue to grow stronger over time, making them a unique symbol of Khasi ingenuity and sustainable interaction with nature.
