A traditional bamboo bridge in the Garden of Caves, Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India.

These bridges are a defining feature of Meghalaya, traditionally constructed by local villagers to traverse crevices and rivers
built entirely from bamboo and local wooden blocks, avoiding the use of nails, metals, or cement.

Such walkways are part of popular trekking routes, including the Mawryngkhang Trek, also known as the Bamboo Trail.
