About The Experience
The Double Decker Living Root Bridge in Nongriat, Meghalaya is a natural marvel that requires a challenging trek to reach. The trek to the bridge is a challenging hike of about 3,600 stairs. The trek includes crossing two suspension bridges. It takes a full day to complete including the return journey and it can be quite tiring for many people (especially elderly people). Even though a guide is not compulsory and not needed for direction, it is a good idea to take a local guide who will guide you through the trek, explain to you the history and importance of Living with nature and the root bridge as well as take you to Rainbow Falls (2 km aways but takes another 2 hours to trekking due to the steep climb from the Double Decker Living Root Bridge)
