The Double Decker Living Root Bridge is one of Meghalaya's most remarkable natural and cultural landmarks. Located near Cherrapunji, the bridge is formed by training the roots of rubber fig trees over generations to create a natural, living structure. Unlike conventional bridges, these root bridges grow stronger over time and reflect the close relationship between local communities and their environment. The double-decker structure, with two levels of intertwined roots, is rare and showcases traditional knowledge passed down through generations. Visiting the bridge offers insight into sustainable practices and is considered a highlight of any Meghalaya trip.

The Double Decker Root Bridge trek is a rewarding experience that combines physical activity with scenic exploration. The trail involves descending and ascending stone steps through forested areas, streams and small villages, offering continuous views of Meghalaya's lush landscape. The trek is moderately challenging and best suited for travelers with a reasonable level of fitness. Guided trekking ensures safety, pacing and local insight along the route. Reaching the living root bridge provides a sense of achievement and an opportunity to appreciate one of Meghalaya's most unique natural creations in its natural setting.

Yes, the water at Dawki is genuinely clear, but its clarity depends heavily on the season and weather conditions. During the dry months, especially from December to April, the Umngot River appears crystal clear, often giving the illusion of boats floating in the air.

However, during the monsoon season (June to September), heavy rainfall causes the river to turn muddy and brown due to silt runoff from the surrounding hills. Water clarity can also reduce temporarily after continuous rain, even outside peak monsoon months.

For travellers hoping to see the famous clear waters of Dawki, visiting during the dry season and staying nearby offers the best chance to experience the river at its clearest.

Kaziranga National Park is not included as part of the Meghalaya group tour itinerary, as group tours follow a fixed route and schedule focused entirely on Meghalaya's highlights.

However, if you're interested in visiting Kaziranga, we can arrange a customised extension after the group tour is completed. This allows you to add a wildlife experience at your own pace, including safari planning, transfers, and accommodation, without affecting the group tour schedule.

A visit to Kamakhya Temple is not included in the standard Meghalaya group tour itinerary, as group tours follow a fixed schedule focused entirely on Meghalaya's destinations.

However, if you wish to visit Kamakhya Temple, we can arrange a customised extension either before or after the group tour. Adding this visit typically requires one additional day, allowing enough time for travel and darshan without impacting the group itinerary.

If you're interested in this option, feel free to reach out — we'll be happy to help plan the Kamakhya visit as a smooth add-on to your Meghalaya group tour.
