Cherrapunji
The wettest place on earth — a living cathedral of forest

Chapter 11: The Cloud Sanctuary
Venture into Meghalaya, the abode of the clouds. Walk living root bridges bio-engineered by the indigenous Khasi tribe, discover dense cavern cascades, and walk ridges looking onto Bangladesh plains.
Cherrapunji (officially called Sohra) receives over 12,000mm of rain annually — making it among the wettest places on earth. The Khasi tribe here developed a unique bio-engineering technique over centuries — training rubber tree roots across rivers to create natural living bridges that strengthen over time.
