Umshiang Double-decker Living Root Bridge

The Umshiang Double-Decker Living Root Bridge is a unique bio-engineered bridge in Nongriat village, East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, near Cherrapunji. Formed by guiding aerial roots of Ficus elastica trees across the Umshiang River over decades, it features two stacked root bridges. Built by Khasi villagers, it is estimated to be over a century old and exemplifies traditional living architecture in one of the world's wettest regions, attracting trekkers and nature visitors.
