Meghalaya's 'Living Root Bridges' in UNESCO world heritage site

Category : State
Published on: March 31 2022 Share on facebook

The Living Root Bridge of Meghalaya, a unique natural phenomenon shaped by human ingenuity, has been included in the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Locally known as "Jingkieng Jri", there are around 100 known living root bridges found in 72 villages in the East Khasi Hills district and West Jaintia Hills district of the mountainous state.
A living root bridge is like a suspension bridge formed by guiding the flexible roots of the rubber fig tree across a river or a rivulet and allowing the roots of big trees to grow and strengthen over a period of many years.
Meghalaya is often likened to Scotland for its topography, scenic beauty and vegetation.
