Living Root Bridge Treks
Hike down thousands of stone steps into the deep tropical valleys of Cherrapunji to cross suspension bridges grown entirely from living tree roots.
Vihaanga Journeys was founded with a clear vision—to present India in its most authentic, comfortable, and meaningful way for global travelers.
True to its name, Meghalaya—the "Abode of Clouds"—is a mesmerizing, emerald plateau renowned for its record-breaking rainfall, deep limestone caves, and tumbling waterfalls. At its core are the living root bridges of Cherrapunji and Nongriat, genius works of bio-engineering handmade by the indigenous Khasi tribe over centuries. From the crystal-clear waters of the Umngot River in Dawki, where boats appear to float in mid-air, to the Scottish-like pine hills of Shillong, Meghalaya offers a pure, eco-adventure wonderland.
October to April is the best time for exploration. The skies clear to unveil immense green gorges, and the rivers like Dawki become transparently perfect.
Nongriat Double Decker Root Bridge, Nohkalikai Falls (Cherrapunji), the mirror-clear Umngot River in Dawki, and Mawsmai limestone cave formations.
Relax in upscale luxury resorts on the cliffs of Cherrapunji, premium colonial stays in Shillong, or cozy community eco-homestays.
Learn about the matrilineal society of the Khasi community, savor authentic pork-based Jadoh rice, and enjoy Shillong\'s famous indie-rock music culture.
