Although we would have loved to have done the double decker root bridge - we were short on both time and stamina so this one was a much easier one to get to - it took us a painless 10 minute walk down steps and a little more painful 15 minute walk up after ! We went in Feb - not really the best time to visit but this natural marvel was still breath taking with just a stream under verses a gushing river ! A visit to the neighbouring Mawlynnong Village known to be the cleanest in India can be done easily from here - if short of time skip the village but definitely do the bridge !!!

Also referred to as Single Level Root bridge or Living Root Bridge. There is an approx 4-5min walk through a village and then some 50 steps down that you need to take - to get to the stream and reach the root bridge. There is a nominal ticket of rs20 or so for adults too. The bridge formed of interwined roots growing across the stream is a sight to look at and you get to walk over it once. They dont allow you to stand on the bridge for long - though u can take pics when u cross to the end. The return is over a manmade bamboo bridge. The place itself is nice - with a nice gushing stream (I guess rain fed, so seasonal variations maybe there) when you can take off shoes and step into as well. Can be covered in 30-40 minutes from car to car if u are in a rush... ! Its anyway very very close to the Mawlynnong (Cleanest village) place. So can be easily clubbed...

I have visited this place on Jan-19. Mawlynnong village is located in the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, also known as "God's own Garden" and has been awarded the cleanest village in Asia in the year of 2003. This village is known for it's cleanliness is located around 90 KM from Shillong. The waste is collected in the dustbins made of bamboo, directed to a pit and then used as manure. Smoking and use of polythene is banned here while rainwater harvesting is highly encouraged. All the residents should participate in cleaning up the village - this is the mandate set by their community initiatives. Apart from these, the village offers picturesque natural beauty, a trek to the living root bridge at a neighbouring village Riwai. I would stongly recommend this place to visit others to know about the cleanliness.
