Living Bridge 
MEHGALAYA is a tribal kingdom in Assam.
It is jammed between Bangladesh and Bhutan .
It is near SHILLONG, the capital.
See the photos of the area under Shillong on the
internet - very beautiful.
Cheerapunji is a town near by that gets the highest
rainfall in the world!

The most successful execution / construction of living Bridges with a life span of many centuries 
in one of the most remote parts of the World. 
Man making nature work for him.


I couldn't comprehend what they meant by a living bridge until I watched this.

Quite a unique concept for folks who have limited
 technical education, but seemingly have sufficient common sense to survive. No civil engineering is involved at all.
