"The Living Bridge"
Started constructing by "The War-Khasis" which is one of a tribe in Meghalaya in India.
At least 500 years old now.
Considered to be one of the most sustainable bridge of all.
What I am interested in this bridge is that this bridge itself is living.
This means that it is now growing, bigger and bigger overtime, strengthen itself which makes it very strong.
The "Rubber Tree" is the main construction of this bridge
Scientific name : Ficus Elastica
Native to northest India and Southern Indonisia.
The same specie can also be found in Thailand, but will not be as strong as the above.
In wilderness, this kind of tree can reach up to 60 metres tall, with the stout trunk up to 2 metres diameter.
