Double Decker Living Root Bridge in January

Two spans of living ficus roots, stacked.

Why January here

The Khasi bridges grown, not built: the double-decker at Nongriat is the icon.

The double-decker living root bridge is two stacked spans of living ficus roots grown across the same stream, tended by Khasi village families for generations. It is reached on the Nongriat descent, and swimming pools sit below it.
