Trekking to Double Decker Living Root Bridge in Sohra (Cherrapunji) | Meghalaya Vlog Ep #3

Hey everyone! I recently visited Meghalaya with my family and had the most fun time! During our trip to Meghalaya, we visited Shillong, Umiam Lake, places around Shillong, Cherrapunji/Sohra, Double Decker Root Bridge, Dawki, Mawlynnong, tons of waterfalls, and Mawphlong Sacred Forest.

This is the third vlog from my Meghalaya series and in this video, we trekked to the Double Decker Living Root bridge in Sohra / Cherrapunjee. This trek involves going down 3500 steps and coming back up 3500 steps so it was quite intense and I wouldn’t recommend it for elderly people or for someone who has knee issues. But having said that, this was such a FUN day and seeing the double decker root bridge was totally worth the hike!

Sohra is one of the wettest places on the planet, and home to a lot of living root bridges. The one we visited in this video is The Double Decker Living Root Bridge in Nongriat Village, and as you can see, it has two levels to it.

While it's possible to trek to the Double Decker Root Bridge in one day, if you have the time, I recommend spending a night here in Nongriat Village (there are a few homestays there), and also visit Rainbow Falls (which are an hour or so away from here by walk). There’s also a Blue Lagoon which we missed seeing so you could try covering that too. But overall, this trek was a great experience, and the highlight for me was swimming in the water near the Double Decker Living Root Bridge. Totally worth visiting this place if you’re planning a trip to Meghalaya and Sohra/Cherrapunjee.
