In our eight day trip to the northeast of India, we saw some amazing sights, met some wonderful people and did some unusual things. I shall be writing in detail about some of them soon. The top picture shows one of the "living root bridges" of Meghalaya. The roots of the ficus trees are trained to span the stream, and eventually form a bridge across the stream. The bio engineering skills of the Khasi people is amazing.
Cherrapunjee, which has the record of having the highest rainfall in the world has many waterfalls too.
We crouched and crawled our way through this cave in the sacred forest of Mawsmai.
After going to Assam, who can resist visiting the Khaziranga National Park with its one horned rhinos and elephants and deer? In spite of the fact that I was slapped with elephant grass by the male elephant we were riding, or shouted at by the male rhino I tried to photograph, it was fun!
All this was made possible by my dear friend Kanak Hagjer of Terra farmer, who encouraged me to visit the northeast. She was the one who told me about the amazing living root bridges of Meghalaya. She suggested that we could make use of her B&B, which we accepted with alacrity.Her charming garden reflects the charm and friendliness of the hostess.
