A Natural Root Bridge Across a Valley at Cherrapunji, India

Cherrapunji waterfalls

Known as the wettest place on Earth, Cherrapunji is home to some of the most amazing plants. Meghalaya sits these astonishing root trees that the War-Khasis tribe has been cultivating for centuries. These literal bridges are made from the Ficus Elastica rubber tree, which is able to grow roots above ground. Each bridge takes from 10-15 years to grow and some are over 500 years old.
