Hike through the picturesque landscapes of Cherrapunji to witness the unique Living Root Bridges. These man-made bridges are grown by the indigenous Khasi tribe by interlacing the roots of the Ficus elastica tree and are centuries old. The trek can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending on the route you choose and your fitness level.
Experience the thrill of white water river rafting on the mighty Brahmaputra river. The river has several rapids from class 1 to 4 and is a great adventure activity for seasoned as well as rookie rafters. The total activity time is approximately 4 hours, including safety instructions, rafting and a quick dip in the river.
Explore the dark and mysterious underground world of Siju Caves. The cave system has several natural wonders like stalactites, stalagmites and limestone formations. The complete tour of the cave takes around 2 hours. The cave has two chambers, with the first one being easily accessible and the second one being accessible only by crawling through small passages.
For those who have additional time, they can explore the markets in Shillong and sample the spicy and delicious local cuisine. If visitors have a lesser number of days, they can exclude the caving activity from the itinerary or shorten the hiking duration while still experiencing the beauty of the Living Root Bridges.
