Deep in dense tropical forest of Meghalaya which is shrouded in cloud and rain for much of the year, are some astonishing living root bridges. It takes around 15 years for a new root bridge to become strong enough to bear the weight of people crossing it.

The tangled roots which form bridge are almost eerie. Let’s have a look at some living root bridges of Meghalaya.
