The experience
A day rooted in place
Root Trails is designed for travellers who want Meghalaya beyond the postcard route. Stay in a village, walk quiet forest paths, and visit living root bridges most travellers never reach. Groups remain small — 4 to 10 — so experiences stay personal, safe, and open to connection.
Why TRIS chose it
The story behind the journey
Day 1 is easy, scenic and slow — Laitlum Canyons, Krangshuri Falls, Dawki, overnight in Mawlynnong. Day 2 is immersive — the offbeat Rangthylliang–Mawkyrnot trail. Six bridges. One forest. This journey is not about ticking off a destination — it’s about understanding it.

FAQ
Do I pay upfront to register?
Register your spot with no upfront payment required. Once you register, the TRIS team contacts you with trip details and payment info to confirm your seat.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate fitness. Expect a 3–4 hour forest trek. The group stays small so pacing stays personal.
