When I decided to explore Meghalaya I would have never guessed it to be this amazing and its becoming interesting with each passing day. After a great hike at one of the best trek in Meghalaya - David Scott's Trail its time to go for another hike just a few kms ahead of the splendid town of Sohra(Cherrapunji), the Double decker and single root bridges built by Khasi tribes years back to cross rivers and a pathway to move from one village to another. Even after years and years these natural architectural marvels still exist with no change at all.

This hike will start from Tryna village that is a ride of atleast 2 hours from Sohra and there are around 3500 stairs from start till double decker root bridge and its a strenuous trek that will take you around 3-4 hours to complete. Also after double decker there is another more challenging portion of Rainbow falls trek that is again uphill stairs and boulder section, that will take you another 2 hours. You can start early morning 6am from Tryna and can complete both these and come back by 3-3:30 or you can also stay at Nongrait where double decker is for a night ,there are homestays option there but pre book in busy times.
