Pranay (+91 70054 23607), our guide for the trek is very friendly, humble & patient who knew the place very well! His excellent photography skills are a cherry on the cake with our best trip pic clicked by him! He also told us local stories & knew all the short cuts to the trek. Would highly recommend him!!

Mandatory to do if you are in Sohra and you have no leg/knee issues.
It's a 3600 steps one way to the double decker bridge.
But it is worth the pain. It is exhausting but not risky or difficult.
And you will forget all the pain once you jump into the ice cool water for a swim.
It takes 4 to 5 hours to complete this trek.
And it is not as scary as it sounds. Go for it 😀

One of its kind. No words to express the beauty of nature.
It is indeed an extreme trek, but you wouldn’t mind the effort when you reach there. A natural swimming pool and very clear water. You can spend 1-2 hours easily in the water.
Don’t make the mistake of just coming all the way to just see the bridge and take some photos. Prepare to get in and enjoy your life to the fullest. Bring in extra clothing to change. Rooms are available to do so.
We took 1.5 hrs onwards (single root and double root) and 2 hrs coming back. Refreshments available throughout the treat. Limited solid food options and none for vegetarians. But you get water and juices throughout.
Never miss this

A Must do trek, not for weak-hearted though. There are 3000+ steps each way. Experience is worth the effort. No need for guide (they will persuade a lot and at times misguide too, don't bother. There are directions there or follow the shops). Take 2 sticks rented/sold at the entry. Don't carry too much stuff. Shops on the way sell stuff for survival, at a bit of premium which is ok. Shoes are good but I have seen people in crocs, slippers too. Wish for some cloudy weather or drizzle, esp. on the way back. You need to conserve energy for return. But do not miss single root bridge on the way down. It is worth a shot.

3 kms trek to double roots 1 way.
Steps all the way to the bridge and the climb is on return
Places to sit at frequent intervals selling Maggi , tea and cool drinks.
People with vertigo, knee problem and severe asthma please avoid.
I personally loved the trek. It was the highlight of my holiday. Took a help Freddie 8787484538 who was excellent.
U walk to a village then cross 2 metal bridges and then a single root bridge and finally reach the double root. It was pouring so we had to skip rainbow falls due to rise in water level.

Its not the place but the over all journey which was exciting. 3500*2 so 7000 stairs not an easy task. We started around 9:15am and was back by 3pm. It was a beautiful journey amidst nature. We were travelling with a teenager and a 7yrs old daughter. They were tired but cool. We on the other hand were quite exhausted by the time we finished the hiking. Carry ORS/ORSL/Glucose it gives lot of energy and prevents dehydration.
In case you want to cover rainbow falls plan for a night stay at a homestay near double decker bridge and early morning trek to rainbow falls. Since it was covid time we were reluctant to stay in those small places hence skipped the rainbow falls.

The trek to the double decker living root bridge is very hectic, one needs to make sure to keep themselves hydrated throughout.
Also the overall experience was just okay.

The only double decker, but there are many more living bridges in the valley which also has beautiful tropical forest coverage. Take your time and even consider to stay in a homestay down in the valley.

This trek consists of all the things that Meghalaya has to offer, double decker root bridges, small bridges across picturesque and clean rivers, gigantic hills, amazing lemonade which I can assure you is unique only to this place and peace loving people.
The trek consists of atleast 5000 small and big steps so definitely take the bamboo sticks with ya! If you are injured, this trek is not recommended for you. We got an amazing guide Calm which turned out to be the best decisions especially in the dark when the routes can get confusing.
We heard at least 5 people losing their way when coming back and all of them went without a guide. So, that must tell you how important it is to hire one.
I can bet 10000 rupees that you will absolutely love this trek. The rainbow waterfall is a hidden gem that you should not miss.

Travelling to shillong with 5 and 12 yr girls on april 11,can we do trek with kids,is it possible

As mentioned by others, it all depends on the level of physical activity your kids are exposed to. To add on, there are porters available at the start of trek if you wish your 5 year old to be carried for the entire stretch of the trek. For my 2.5 yr old daughter, I have engaged a porter at INR 3000 for Double Decker trek (Day-1) & Rainbow Falls trek (Day-2).
Will the double decker bridge be open on sundays, since the timings were recently changed in Jan 2020 ?

Hello I'm a very heavy person but I love trekking and I'm very good at it. I wanted to know if there are any places while going to this place that might have weight restrictions. Like a very light bridge or or something

Hello Pradip, wanted to know if we can trek at this place? or is there any activities if any, contacts for booking? and can we go individually without a trek group.

If you have a kid then we recommend a guide else not.. what happens while returning everyone is tired n kids become cranky n will not climb. Period they will not climb n you are yourself too exhausted to pamper them.
Heavy ppl ill recommend to be very careful Be cause there are points and many points where steps are very small n steep. But this goes for kids too. Plus make sure you dont fear the insects n frogs n snakes.
We had 2 baby snakes come along n my guide simple picked by kid and was 20 meters down. Parents were left jumping around.. ha ha not funny that time but now yes
