Incredible Tangled Root Bridges (15 pics)

Posted in Lifestyle » Travel 11 Feb 2012 / 5078 views

In the Indian city of Cherrapunji, Meghalaya sits these astonishing root trees that the War-Khasis tribe has been cultivating for centuries. These literal bridges are made from the Ficus Elastica rubber tree, which is able to grow roots above ground. Each bridge takes from 10-15 years to grow and some are over 500 years old.

“In the depths of north-eastern India, in one of the wettest places on earth, bridges aren't built - they're grown.”
That sums up pretty well the idea of this post, here, the bridges are 100% natural.
Some of those bridges can be over a hundred feet long and they require 10 to 15 years to be fully functional. Some are really old (like hundreds of years) but they become stronger with years…
Look at those amazing shots inside the post.
