Meghalaya: Living Root Bridges & the Cleanest River
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
The "abode of clouds" is India's greenest secret — waterfalls everywhere, root bridges grown by hand over generations, and a river so clear the boats seem to float on air.
The highlights
- Nohkalikai, India's tallest plunge waterfall
- The Double Decker Living Root Bridge at Nongriat (earn it — it's a steep hike)
- The glass-clear Umngot River at Dawki
- Mawlynnong, often called Asia's cleanest village
Pack a rain shell whatever the season — this is the wettest corner of the country.
