Cross a forest via living root bridges

Where: Meghalaya

The forests of Meghalaya receive such copious amounts of rainfall, that wooden bridges don’t stand a chance at survival. Not ones to be held down by the vagaries of nature, the local tribes devised a method that is now known to be one of the most stellar examples of bioengineering—the living root bridges! These bridges will be your only saviours when you set out to cross the dense forests of Meghalaya on foot—but don’t you worry, they are the sturdiest you’ll ever come across.
