8) Living Foot Bridge the most loved attraction of Meghalaya, is in the same village. However, you can go only walking from the restaurant to the Living foot bridge a walk of 15-20mins will get you there. Leave by 4PM
Second place was Living root bridge, there is small 1km through a village to living root bridge. Nice bridge built from roots, and there is the waterfall as well. Stayed for a while and trekked back.
Next place for the day was the root bridge in Meghalaya called Riwai living root bridge. These bridges are really old and creations of the locals. Standing on the bridge is not allowed but you can click pictures. I was having a nice time as this was a different experience. We had to leave from there in 20 minutes as we had one more place to visit on the same day. Just after a 10-minute drive from the root bridge, we reached Mawlynnong which is Asia's cleanest village. We enjoyed a delicious and homely local meal there and started back for Shillong.Covering all these places in one day made me tired, so I drank some tea and went to sleep immediately after reaching my hotel.
