Journey Through India’s Captivating Curiosities You Never Knew Existed
Nature’s Bridge Masterpiece
In the lush forests of Meghalaya, India, you’ll find an extraordinary bridge made entirely of living tree roots. These root bridges, particularly the famous one in Cherrapunji, are created by guiding the roots of rubber fig trees across rivers and streams.
Unlike conventional bridges, these living bridges grow stronger with time and are naturally resilient to heavy rainfall and floods. Some are over 500 years old, showcasing the ingenious use of nature’s engineering by local tribes. They also show the harmonious relationship between humans and their environment.
