Living Root Bridge | Meghalaya, Jembatan Akar, Banten Province, India

For hundreds of years, people have been crafting bridges out of nothing but roots. The living root bridge as it’s called is a practice of tree shaping or guiding and forming tree trunks or their roots to form artistic shapes and physical structures.
