Unique Experiences Rooted in Tribal Culture:
Beyond observing festivals, Meghalaya offers immersive experiences that highlight the unique aspects of its tribal life.
- Living Root Bridges (Jingkieng Jri): These incredible bio-engineered bridges, found primarily in the Khasi and Jaintia Hills, are a testament to the indigenous tribes' deep knowledge of nature and their sustainable living practices.
- Experience: Trekking to these bridges (like the Double Decker Root Bridge in Nongriat or the Riwai Root Bridge) offers a glimpse into how communities have lived in harmony with their environment for centuries, shaping nature to their needs.
- Cultural Significance: They are not just pathways but embody traditional wisdom passed down through generations, showcasing bio-engineering that is truly unique and ecologically sound.
