Deep in the dense tropical forest of Meghalaya in northeast India, and shrouded in cloud and rain for much of the year, are some astonishing man-made natural wonders. Known as living root bridges, inventive members of the Khasi tribe have trained them to grow from the roots of ancient rubber trees, native to the region. The root bridges provide a stable alternative to wooden bridges, which decay and get destroyed during the lengthy monsoon seasons. There are two places that you can see the bridges: near Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong.
