Nongriat
Nongriat is a remote village in Meghalaya, India, famed for its living root bridges, particularly the Double Decker Living Root Bridge. These bridges are created by the Khasi tribe by training the roots of rubber trees over years to form sturdy, natural structures. The village is accessible only by a steep trek involving approximately 3000 steps. Nongriat offers a unique trekking experience and a chance to witness the ingenuity of the Khasi people. However, the trek is strenuous and requires a good level of fitness. Accommodation options are basic, and the village is quite isolated, making it unsuitable for those seeking luxury or easy accessibility. The reward is immersion in nature and a glimpse into a different way of life.
