This bridge is just awesome was there many moons back.

Double Decker Living Root Bridge
Hidden deep in the lush, green forests of the wettest place in India: Cherrapunjee, Meghalaya; one can find the magnificent Jingkieng Nongriat Double Decker Living Root Bridge; more commonly known as the Umshiang Double Decker Living Root Bridge or simply just the Double Decker Root Bridge. This area is famous for root bridges made of Indian Rubber Tree, but the Double Decker Bridge is the most famous of all due to its large size. It is A unique attraction and quite an innovative mix of nature and engineering. The Umshiang River flows beneath the bridge.
History of the Double Decker Living Root Bridge
The local tribe of Khasis is to be credited with helping towards the creation of this feat of nature. They noticed the strong roots of the Indian Rubber Tree growing near their village of Laitkynsew. These types of ancient rubber trees grow only in the Northeast region of India, which is why the root bridges are so famous here. The roots are 'trained' by the villagers to shape into a bridge. This training is done by pulling the roots and twisting them or braiding them in the required direction. But, the bridges cannot be used immediately after shaping. The roots require at least 15 years to grow strong enough to withstand the weight of people walking across it since that is the actual purpose of the bridge. This natural bridge is said to be over 200 years old and only 50 people can use the bridge at once
Trek to Double Decker Living Root Bridge
The bridge starts at the village of Tyrna and crosses the Umshiang river during its journey.
