Living Tree Bridges of Cherrapunji: Unbelievable Sight
What appears to be a scene out of a Lord of the Rings movie, the Living Tree Bridges of Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, is just what the name suggests. Providing a rather mysterious and surreal sight, the rubber tree in question is said to have roots that go as long as 3000 feet.

And if you are wondering how on earth they got that way, the winding
roots have made their way along the slopes. As the trees cling to the
higher areas of the riverbank, they send their roots down to the
riverbed. It is said that over the ages, humans have shaped them to aid
as a natural bridge between the rivers.
