That's cz we're currently progressing and giving the locals the right training for them to be good tour guides as we are seeing more tourists coming over and we hope even more come.
This place should be the 8th wonder of the world. It is so fascinating how the natives managed to build those living bridges. This place looks like it's from a fantasy movie.
@@Sana-xb8qf Who said indians don't know it huhh, Do u know & experienced everything in every state of india?? Outside Tourists travel & experience more in a nation then the ppl of nation itself, it's same regarding any big country as India
@@Sana-xb8qf bro i am form kolkata, My 3 frnd travel there in 2009 and tell us, after that we visit there more then 3 time with 3 different group, Yes you can say it's not popular as goa Or kashmir but it's have it's own fan..
Welcome to my Birthplace Sohra Sir I'm a local Tourguide from Sohra itself and i can take you everywhere in Meghalaya from North to East to south and west Khasi,jaintias and garo hills, Thankyou.
The living root bridges of Meghalaya are profound symbols of the wisdom, foresight, and deep community spirit of the Khasi people. Built by interweaving the aerial roots of the Ficus elastica tree, these bridges were not just functional structures but legacies of care and protection. They were created with a vision far beyond the immediate needs of the builders. Our forefathers, who toiled to guide these roots, never reaped the benefits themselves; they never set foot on the sturdy pathways they shaped. Yet, their selflessness speaks volumes about their values. They labored not for personal gain but for the well-being of future generations, ensuring that their descendants could cross rivers safely, even in the heaviest monsoons. This remarkable heritage reveals the Khasi people's deep respect for nature and each other. It reflects a collective commitment to safeguarding every member of the tribe, showing how much they cared about community survival, safety, and unity. The living root bridges are more than marvels of bioengineering; they are living testaments to a culture that prioritized communal well-being and sustainability, teaching us the enduring power of thinking beyond oneself.
There are 1,580 Caves have been identified so far in Meghalaya State of India, of which 980 caves have explored so far, hence Meghalaya is also known as "Land of Caves". Krem Liat Prah Cave is the longest cave located in India. Krem Chympe, Wari Chora and Krang Suri are three beautiful Cave Waterfalls in Meghalaya State.

@@IamtheAbsurdist I'd have to thank you for your wonderful work with all your content creation skills that you brought my home land into the spotlight. You did an amazing job and I really appreciate it. 👍
Last week i and my partner went for double decker bridge hike around 3:15 PM and returned back at 6:03 PM, our guide was surprised and our driver was shocked that we finished the hike so early. 😂 We just spend around 20 minutes at bridge because of winters it already was getting dark around 4:30 PM. We also skipped the single bridge because we already saw one around Mawlynnong.

A foreign tourist calls it Sohra while Indian tourists call it Charepaunji. This shows you that our fellow Indians don respect our local language.
