Mawsmai Cave The living root bridges: Nature’s miracles! Step into a realm of natural wonder in Meghalaya – the living root bridges, a scenic testament to human ingenuity and nature's artistry. Recently added to UNESCO's tentative world past site list, these bridges are meticulously woven from intertwined roots. Crafted over centuries by the indigenous Khasis and Jaintias, these bridges celebrate sustainability, tradition, and the appealing spirit of coexistence. Meghalaya is recognised for around 100 such wonders scattered across different hamlets. Amid the most renowned are those in Nongriat, Sohra (Cherrapunjee), Nongbareh, and neighbouring locations.
