My trip to the world’s rainiest and wettest place began in Guwahati City, from where it took me a five hour drive to reach my destination Cherrapunji. The journey crossed some splendid scenery of the Khasi Hills, which appeared astonishing green due to the summer monsoon rain. The forests, farmlands and pastures felt alive and were shining. The effect of receiving the highest rainfall is clearly visible on the landscape. I was finally in Sohra: The local name of Cherrapunji atfer exploring Shillong.
My aim was to see world famous double decker living root bridges. And here I was enrouting :)
Double Decker Living Root Bridge
After 3 hours of footing down the hill, I finally reached this world famous place. Worth it!
MAWLYNNONG A village where local plays Bob Marley, Reggae Shark, Country Music. The hitch hiking is as easy as raising your tumb for a lift. Got my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds. That's how I am rolling my life right here at one of my bucket list places on planet earth.

BACKPACKER HOSTEL WHICH I CHOSE TO STAY
Rs 250 per person. I treated my self with one basic room for the night.
This is the only hostel in Cherrapunji village. Luckily I got room. Otherwise it was full with solo travellers and some foreigners travelling in the group. Living root bridges is 12 km from this place. I bumped other 2 boys and joined them to have down hike to living root bridges from the same place. So 12 km was done by sharing a taxi.
