About
What this place is like
Nongriat rewards effort—a steep descent from Tyrna village leads to the famous double-decker living root bridge and rainbow falls. Overnight at basic guesthouses lets you enjoy the bridge before day-trip crowds arrive from Shillong. This is a trek destination, not a drive-up viewpoint—knees and fitness matter for the stair climb back.
