A Tale Of Living Bridge

Have you ever heard of a Bridge that is growing, breathing, can fix itself by own? Sounds like TREEBEARD from Lord Of The Ring right!!

A beautiful living structure situated on Thyllong river. This is basically a rubber tree planted by Nohwet villagers around the year 1840, they trained its root in a amazing way to form this bridge. They done this unbelievable work to ease river crossing.


It is something you will never forget easily. But everything comes with a price. Here im not talking about money.

You have to buy tickets (Rs 40-60), which you can find 400+ slippery stairs down. Of course this area isn’t Wheelchair Accessible :wheelchair: :no_entry_sign: . But I have seen people over 75 years came here. It was so pumped me that how dedicated they are at this age.

You can find some local shops beside the stairs. Everything is so reasonable according to the place.
If you have come this far please Share you opinion in comment
So get a red bull and best of luck.

Dear @KamalHossenR there is no specific time to visit this place. But it will be good if you could avoide during rainy season (it will get more slippery).

Wonderful photos and feels awestruck to see this wonder of nature shaped by humans.
The photos are a treat to the eyes.
I had heard about this bridge in the past and now know they are accessible for travellers.
If you could also include in your post the Google Maps link of this place and the best way to reach here + the best time of the year to visit, that would be immensely helpful for local guides like me and many to plan a visit here.

@TusharSuradkar The location is already there in my post and the best time according to native people is anytime except Rainy season ( June to September) because increase in water level and slippery stairs.
