6 Best Places To Visit In Meghalaya | Dawki |Whistling Village And More

Today I'm taking you to Meghalaya which means "abode of clouds" This one has my ❤️ India is a land full of rivers. 1.Dawki river is actually one of the cleanest in the world. The water is green and crystal clear. The river seperates India and Bangladesh. It has a 90 year old suspension bridge where I’m standing :)) Don't you feel the boats appear to be floating on an invisible glass surface? A boat ride is a must when you visit Dawki! Meghalaya is full of beautiful waterfalls. And this one for sure caught all my attention. 2.Phi Phi falls is located in the west Jantia hills.Isn't it gorgeous? Which ia the most beautiful waterfall you've seen? Next we go to: 3. The living root bridges! These are suspension bridges made by shaping the roots of trees. Created by the people of the Khasi tribe, these roots grow from the ancient rubber trees, seen only in the northeast region. These roots are trained by the Khasis to grow in such a manner as be in the form of bridges on the top of a river. The most popular tourist attraction of Cherrapunjee, these double decker living root bridges are 2 bridges that are stacked one on the other, made because of the entanglement of roots. Climbing down 3200 steps was worth it! Next is: 4. The Wei Sawdong Waterfall.The route to the bottom of the waterfalls is mostly bamboo bridges, stairs, and mud. It is extremely dangerous so be sure to wear proper trekking shoes. When wet, the bamboo is slippery so a hiking stick may help. I was super scared but the view was breathtaking. I'm in love with all the waterfalls here. Next I'm taking you to the most unique village ever. 5. Kongthing village also called as the "whistling village" here the residents have three names: a regular name, a distinct melody and a shorter tune that is akin to a nickname. Each villager here has a distinct tune as his/her name that came stright out of their mothers heart a she held them in her arms. What melody would you name your best friend as? Another unique gem Meghalaya hold is: 6. The " Sacred forest"What is a sacred or holy or blessed place for you?? The people of Meghalaya hold their forests as sacred and holy. You cannot take or leave behind anything in the forest. Leave only footprints and take back only memories they say. They worship their trees and forests.
