Here is one of the most mysteriously beautiful village named Riwai in Meghalaya and the hidden beauty of Mother Nature – the Living Root Bridge! This magnificent site has been developed from the ingenious expertise of the Khasi tribe of the Meghalaya state, who have been keeping up these tree houses for generations.
