Double Decker Living Root Bridge

Reviewed By ugenb

Need to be fit to reach here and go back kn the same day. If you have any doubt on your fitness, then please stay back at Nongriat. 1. Location - In Nongriat, Cherrapunjee Meghalaya is where the famous double decker root bridge resides. 2. How to get there - From Cherrapunjee (aka Sohra) get down to a village called Tyrna. That's where the trek starts. 3700 steps/2 hours take you to Nongriat village, where the famous double decker living root bridges are. 3. Entry fees - 20 bucks for double decker. 4. Other attractions - Serenity pool (30 minutes before rainbow falls) and Rainbow falls (50 minutes) after crossing the roit bridges. 2.5 hours further uphill from Rainbow falls will take you to the famous "Nohkalikai water falls." This is an information that I collected from a group that had travelled from Cherrapunjee and they later confirmed me that they had reached. As per them, the trek is tough because the path is rough and not well laid out like rainbow falls. 5. Food - Plenty of options are available till double decker bridge but there isn't even 1 shop till the rainbow falls. 6. Overnight options - Homestays with options of rooms and dorm are there at Nongriat (double decker ). 7. What to do there - Photography, dipping legs in the natural pool and hike to Serenity pool and Rainbow falls. Also, you can roam around the village. 8. Temperature - Since you are coming downhill from Cherrapunjee, the altitude drops and you are at river level. So it gets very hot and humid during summers and pleasant during winters. I travelled in Nov but still I sweated a lot. 9. Communication - Till Tyrna, a reseved Alto/800 will take you 400 to 500 bucks from Sohra. For any further details, let me know. 10. The trek path - well laid out roads. You will cross 3 hanging bridges that are over clear rivers. A 5 minute detour will take you to a single root bridge. This diversion comes after 30 minutes. For any more information please let me know.
