Landslides during heavy rain can shut roads without warning for days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDiscovering Meghalaya: India’s Root-Bridge Heartland<\/h2>\n Mist hangs low over the pine canopy as you cross the swaying double decker living root bridge, water dripping from the living roots above. This Meghalaya travel guide focuses on the practical realities of trekking through cloud forests, staying in village homestays, and timing visits around the weather. The Khasi Hills deliver the famous waterfalls and root bridges, the Jaintia Hills offer quieter river gorges and caves, while the Garo Hills bring denser jungles and fewer visitors. The guide is written for travellers who want workable routes and honest notes on road conditions rather than postcard lists.<\/p>\n
