Living root bridges of Meghalaya

Даниил Коржонов

This series is about the living root bridges in Meghalaya, India. Local Khasi people used to grow the bridges almost like bonsai trees. For decades khasi were forming a bridge which is actually alive and growing further. In person it feels like you are in some fantastic Alien movie, crossing the cradle of roots. One of the bridges, for instance, started to grow in 1840. For 180 years it became a true masterpiece. To get here we traveled pretty far to North east India, almost at the border with Bangladesh.
For the last three weeks I've been traveling in remote areas of India, starting with Ladakh, then Meghalaya, Nagaland and Bandhavgarh.
The main purpose was documenting beautiful nature of India and in particular project about Living Root bridges.
