Living Root Bridge of Meghalaya 8D/7Nbeyonders2024-01-10T09:50:11+00:00
Meghalaya, meaning abode of clouds is a place dotted with mountains and also boasts of world’s wettest place on earth (Mawsynram) and India’s longest cave system. A state which still practices matrilineal system, women are the real rock stars here. The amazing people here also have amazing names… be prepared to meet Ms Heaven, Mr Lazy, Ms Missme or Blessme. Walk on the Living Roots Bridge, drive through the mountains, explore the caves and water falls…this experience is all about getting one with the nature and of course must try the beetle nut.
