One of Meghalaya's most thrilling trails, Mawryngkhang takes you across bamboo bridges suspended over a 1000-foot gorge and along cliff-edge paths to a rocky pinnacle. The Wahthyllong bamboo bridge — rebuilt annually by villagers — is the centerpiece, swaying as you cross high above the valley. Not for the faint-hearted, but the views and adrenaline are unmatched in Northeast India.
