    [Photo Feature]: Around Meghalaya in 4 days with Nitin Manore

    Day1 Pics: Trek to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge.

    About the Double Decker Living Root Bridge:Meghalaya villagers create 'living' bridges by training roots across a river | Mail Online

    Distance from Shillong: 55kms approx, 2 hours on a motorcycle.

    Location: Nongriat Village via Sohra (Cherrapunjee) and Tyrna Village.
    It takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hour to reach the bridge rom Tyrna Village and about 2hours to climb back through those 4000 approx concrete and non-concrete steps. One can easily get directions from the Villagers. It is advisable to carry your own lunch packets and water as well as there are no dhaba/hotels in and around the Bridge. However, we were lucky enough for a family prepared lunch for us in such a short notice on request as well as payment.




    Don't be misguided with the above pic which should actually be read as "Motorable - 1.63kms" and "Footpath - 3.00kms"









    The natural Swimming pool, bluish in colour as seen in the above pic.




















    Having some fun around the bridge.

                    Waiting for Day 4!

                    Do they allow you into Bangaldesh at Dawki?
                    Larger question - are you allowed to drive to Dacca in an Indian vehicle from Dawki or any of the border crossings in Meghalaya?

                      Yes buddy, they do allow one to enter into Bangladesh through Dawki but you would need a passport to do so. However, we cannot take a vehicle into Bangladesh from Dawki.
