👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
In March of 2019, I traveled to the Indian states of Assam and Meghalaya to experience the people, culture, history, and food of northeast India. I was blown away by what I found there. This area of the country has a completely different look and feel to other parts of India. The culture is very unique and the food is unlike any I’ve had anywhere else. I’m excited to share my adventures there with you. Come along with me as I explore Assam and Meghalaya!
After making the 2.5 hour drive from Shillong to Cherrapunjee, my friend Paul and I headed to a local market to explore have an incredible Khasi lunch. There were fruits and vegetables as far as the eye could see! There were vendors selling fish, massive bottles of raw honey, and so much more.
I tried some nuts that a local woman gave me. They were really good! Most of the things from the market come from outside the Cherrapunjee, or Sohra, area. There were so many things to see on our way to the meat market, including breads, samosas, and a huge amount of tobacco!
The meat market is a sensory overload. There are so many smells and sounds. It’s a little raw and intense to watch the vendors butcher the pork, but it’s real and is a part of everyday life here. You can get every part of the pig here: the heart, liver, ribs, intestines, pork belly, and much more. The abundance of pork here is part of what makes Meghalaya so different from other Indian states.
Because there aren’t many Hindu locals in this part of India, they also eat beef here. Most of the people are Christians or Catholics. Then we passed through the fish market, where I saw an interesting-looking eel, and the beef and poultry market. Everything was super fresh! Nothing here really frozen.
We saw lots of beef cattle on our way to Cherrapunjee, so the beef in the market is local and is raised in the area. It looked phenomenal! It was starting to rain, so Paul showed me a traditional rain cover as well as some locally-made bamboo mats.
I was starving, so we went to get some food next! It all looked amazing! The open-air restaurant was small and charming and I got several different things.
I started with some dense pork liver with a light sauce on it and followed it with jadoh snam, a rice and pork dish that’s cooked in blood. I couldn’t taste the blood, but it was juicy and fatty and I loved it! The pork fritter was super dense and crispy and tasty. Then I went with the pork fat, which was dense and gelatinous and had a flavorful curry on it. It reminded me of pork belly!
The pork salad was phenomenal, as was the fermented fish chutney. Then I went with the potatoes, green beans, and onions, which was incredible. Then I tried a chili and got some more liver! I capped off the meal with some minty red tea. This was one of my favorite meals of my life! The pork was so fresh and flavorful and blows American pork dishes out of the water. And it only cost 90 rupees/$1.29 U.S.
Back in the market, we saw a stall selling lots of biscuits and other breads. Then we left the market and drove 45 minutes away to see the famous living root bridges of Meghalaya! After you get there, you have to hike another 45 minutes to see them.
We rode down a windy, rocky road through a canyon and finally arrived there. We bought sticks for 20 rupees each to help us down the path. I ran down the path’s stairs to cut down the time.
We crossed a scary suspension bridge and still had so much more to go! We crossed a second bridge and finally reached the living root bridge! It’s made of intertwined tree roots and is gorgeous! We passed through the village and made our way to the double-decker root bridge. It’s made of the roots of a huge banyan tree. It’s unbelievable! You can’t see this anywhere else in the world!
I hope you enjoyed coming along with me for my Khasi lunch and to see the living root bridges! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Pork intestine my feverote with rice beer 😋
You should try Snail and pork with bamboo shoots in Assam both are my favorite dish...and also different kind of dish made with pork and also the rice made in bamboo.... you should try the real cuisine in assam
Woaahh david i cant imagine you've been to my village...i'm from Nongriat actually but i moved here in Shillong since 1999 for my further studies...why are you not informing me before this trip...i missed my lovely village so bad 😧😟😰
Awesome video David. Hands off to paul, great guy.
Next level man awesome
Your Meghalaya guide Mr Paul is really knowledgeable.
Hit like for him.
Always choose your guide wisely, and don't do mistake like in Assam tour.
Very true that's what I thought...David made a mistake with the Assam tour guide. Paul is an awesome tour guide.
And even in Mumbai tour guide
Even in kolkata
Meghalaya guide actually they are always good and honestly
Nice video, but again hats of to the guide Mr. Paul, the essence of all these videos all your other so called hifi guides need to learn is to first learn their own place properly. What an amazing guide!! Hats off Paul, David thanks for allowing him to be himself in guiding you, amazing content man.
thanks dude! Paul is amazing. What a great guy!
David thanks for the comment, looking forward to your upcoming videos, just praying that the guides are as good as Paul, but dude your Shillong segment is on another level, hats off to your patience and spirit of exploration, the pioneer spirit😉. Keep it up, thanks for keeping it real man!!!
Please eat turumbai
Hats off Bah Paul.
Couldn't agree with you more sir.. They managed to capture the true essence of meghalaya
When I went to Shillong for a college trip... It was very tiring to climb so many stairs especially for this double decker root bridge... Then one of our professor said us "You might feel tiring now, but experience you are having you will cherish your whole life" and that is so true... So, I suggest you atleast once in a life explore Shillong, Meghalaya... It might be tiring some point, but trust me the pain really worth it...you will never regret it 😊❤️
Very true
In northeast India . Men and women are equally treated ... that's why I love my north east India from the rest of india..proud to be northeastern...
Lot of love from karbi Anglong, Assam
@Li saaa cool.. good.. to know.. ❤❤❤❤
@Li saaa Not in Islamic family bro
Yes bro
@Li saaa no
In Bengal we treat women equally since beginning of our history. We mostly worship female goddesses.
David is really mesmerised by the beauty of Shillong n the entire states of Meghalaya💛
love Meghalaya so much!
@@Davidsbeenhere love David so much
This has been your best video in this tour so far. Loved Cherapunjee bazaar. So colourful and alive.
Again ! The guide you have David is amazing, very knowledgeable of the facts and information of the place and food culture. Love the video. Peace out from us the people of Meghalaya ✌
I don't think being Christian made us eat beef. We have been eating beef since centuries old, before the advent of Christian in the 1900s. Khasi are non-veg since ol' centuries.
Same goes for all the tribes in NE bruh
Very true. Whole world eats beef and pork. It dosent havfe anything to do with Christianity. Its their local tradition.
Yes absolutely right. We have been eating this not because we are christan but coz it's the part of tradion or indigenous practices we still maintaing it. The tribes of arunachal, nagaland, mizoram and manipur actually "Mithun" is the product of meat. In arunachal pradesh 'mithun' replaces cow as animal of socio-political significance. The mithun is sacred to a number of tribes including Nyishi, Apatani, Galo, Adi, Mishmi and Sherdupiken.Among all other bovine animals, it is the most preferred meat of the non-vegetarians in the state.
Forget about beef, Mithun meat is at another level
@@ZalipAchumi Yep bro no doubt about it ..... 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
David sir..you're such a cool person😊☺..thank you so much for visiting Meghalaya... Bad Khublei shibun iaphi ruh bah Paul..
Khublei
Those umbrellas are called Knup, Khasi's have one of the richest culture
Dude super awesome video, food delicious. The living root brige amazing, love love it. Loving India😍
I've seen many videos on Meghalaya but not the way you present it.
So detailed! You covered the myriad of the food culture and By savouring each of the different items, makes it appetizing.
The places you travelled and how to get there, serves as a great itinerary for other tourists.
Love it.
Thanks. Keep posting.
Mr. Paul is a great guide.
More i see of this place and more i love it. Root bridges ??! Amazing. Before i think this kind of stuff exist only in fantasy novels, like an elven village. Friking amazing.
I was about to comment the same thing. Seriously wow.
They are amazing!!! Haven't seen them personally to be honest. But the narrative makes it sound like the roots created the bridge naturally though if I am not mistaken it (roots) was "coaxed" for a lack of a better word to form the bridge by the natives over time. 🙂👍
Honestly dave.. Iam addicted to your videos...especially for the past few months.. Have not missed a single video
Best content on Travel in Assam and Meghalaya buddy! Loved all of it. You're fun, straightforward and clear. And so descriptive, and the camera is excellent too. Thanks so much. Your videos are such a great help for aspiring visitors to these places. Got your vlog at the perfect time! Thank you thank you thank you.
THANKS David, for showing my country so beautifully, from kolkata.
thank you!
@@Davidsbeenhere a huge respect and thanks to David from we the people of Meghalaya
I'm a meat lover too and Khasi food looks friggin good. David is making me hungry. The living root bridge just WOW incredible India. Hope better infrastructure in the near future to get to this hidden gem of India. So many grt, beautiful places of India really needs to be promoted well and keep it clean. It will only help India's economy. Learn from Thailand, China, etc.
We do not have to learn from any other country we are incredible and unique
Sadly India don't invest in northeast been ignoring since beginning

Meghalay reminds me of Pandora...especially the root bridges.
David u miss one more thing,The khasi traditional dance with magnificent n gorgeous dress wore in gold n silver which they dance during the month Feb,March,april may,june,once in a year
Hi David how are you? I have not been on TH-cam for a few weeks, I have missed many videos. Awesome video, great to see you back in India, that market is wonderful.
Thanks a lot David for showing Sohra I've in Meghalaya few times since I left but never had a chance to see the decker bridge I hope next time greetings from London 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Place looks fresh. Love from Australia
At least you are here David thank you for showing love to my people and to our state and to all the Northeast
Double decker root bridges!!! Woow, that's amazing... Already visited living root bridge but this double decker is a bit different🔥👌 Got to visit those amazing places once again😉😊
Going down can be just as bad. I could barely walk the next day. I looked totally handicapped.
I like this guy..
Well, this guy proves,he is a Traveller..
Love my friend ..
Happy life!!!
Paul is a proper and knowledgeable tour guide.. really liked his touring descriptions...
Loved every bit of it! ♥️
Thanks David for visiting my beloved state Meghalaya❤️😇
Festive time and the food is even better...
Thank you for promoting Meghalaya and north-eastern states of India to other parts of the world.
I really enjoyed watching David devouring the food!!
was waiting eagerly for your video david ... hehe love from Shillong..
thanks dude! Many many more to come!
@@Davidsbeenhere I love the way you eat that juicy Pork 😋🤤 mmmmm yummmm ... ...
Please visit JOWAI the west coast of Scotland
I also
Please visit nagaland after that manipur. Must enjoy and taste all the 7 sister state.
No ,not Nagaland please 🤣 Not being racist but why would you visit Nagaland.Shillong is far better than Nagaland plus there's nothing much to explore besides Hornbill in Nagaland. I'm a vegetarian so I had trouble finding food at restaurants but I don't think they can other cook stuff delicious as well.
@@roshantiwari1992 😂😂😂😂😂
Pun intended??
@@icefroghoram3750 definitely not if you're triggered.
@@roshantiwari1992
Am I talking to you??
Thanks David for capturing real khasi hills, khasi culture. Kublei shibun David. Love to Meghalaya and all my friends there. Special love to Shillong. Many many thanks ton Paul for being such an awesome host. Hope i can meet you once i am in Shillong.
Thank you David for coming to Northeast and showing the world the beauty of northeast😊😊
Your Meghalaya vlogs are the best I've watched so far on TH-cam than anyone else. And I must say, Paul is a great guide. 👍
Love from Assam 💚
Ooooh i cannot wait to visit india in November🤤
I wish you well.
Welcome always...
Where you from?
You should visit Meghalaya
@@mulukbasumatary6443 but being chef and Gujrati I don't eat beef but pork , chicken ,mutton. So, will I be able get varieties of pork and chicken dishes separated from beef.
PS. I'm not blind BJP NIGGA. I have genuine reason for not eating beef
David ...you did well with the guide... You captured meghalaya beautifully!!!
I had recently visit on April '19 it was just beautiful rich in nature. Love it.
Thank you for visited our state Meghalaya
I miss cherapunjee market
😢😢I used to go there during my hostel days ❤️❤️
Best video of all i have seen... The root bridge.. Awesome!
A trip that you'll never forget David and yes that's Meghalaya💖 I've been there nongriat on 2016 December that time there was the old suspension bridge
Please visit Nongkhnum River Island too its in West khasi hills Meghalaya india
I miss my graduation days in shillong...Thanks alot bro.
Great video! Next time make sure you spend atleast a couple of more days in Nongriat. The homestay to your right at 18:59 is really good, clean and cheap. Moreover, you get to explore even more fascinating places in the region. My personal favourite was Rainbow falls, but what many people don't know is that there are actually MULTIPLE root bridges in the area (albeit, not as sturdy as this one). Mynteng, from what a local told me, had the only root bridge which had no stone or any other support even in the walk-way. Either way, the region is fascinating and I can't wait to go back to explore more! There's something very, very special about it.
You earned my sub!! Such a great content.
The tip of the chilly is never spicy... bite the whole thing and chew it David in one go.😁
Jadoh snam on point.. 😁😁
I m happy that u visited the living root bridge lot more to see in India ..... Ur guide is very good.... Incredible India 🇮🇳
Always welcome such a good man like David You're a great person with great personality ...Khublei ia phi ruh Bha Paul
Wao The Root Bridge is something to watch👍👍😍
amazing but soooo hard to get to
Good things are hard to find !
There are 3 more spots to discover there. Those are a bit far away on the same route ahead of the root bridge. It gets one exhausted to reach the end of the route which leads to 'Rainbow Waterfalls' the fourth and final destination but trust me when i say the beauty is worth taking the trouble for.
PS- i could only visit the 3rd spot known as 'Natural Swimming Pool' and had to return due to lack of time. But 9000 steps was definitely worth it. 😅
@@addasmusic 👍👍
Living bridge👍
Love from Meghalaya. I suggest your next stop should be Arunachal Pradesh another beautiful state of NE India.
Tawang 😍😍. Love from Mumbai 😍 😍
David your vlog is amazing.. all of our family used to watch it on our TV.. its nice its pleasant, ur cool and nice to see you, nice to hear ur comments and taste.. live long..
These are some of the tastiest dishes in the country of India that almost nobody West of Meghlaya know of!! One of the biggest gems of cuisines that is very much Indian, but is covered in layers of oblivion which is utterly saddening.
David these series of Khasi food videos are your gold mine food vlogs. Only those who've had it know how good it is! 🍻
Phenomenal. Khasi food's a favourite of mine.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful meghalaya!! Just love it . Lots of love from Manipur.
Thank you David.. love the video..
Awesome...David & Paul ...what a video..I am proud to be an Indian...love from Kolkata
Hey David. In the next trips try to speak a word or two from the native tongue. You are awesome.
Good job guys ...your tour was with full details... Khasi land ''ka ri ki Blei (Realms of the gods)...''
