A Walk Among the Konyaks, Episode 14: The Naga Root Bridges of Shianghawamsa Village

While they are far less famous than their Khasi counterparts, the Nagas also grow living root bridges out of ficus elastica trees. These are generally found far out in the jungle, connecting village farmers with their fields. The structures are often hundreds of years old.

The bridges in this video are in the land to the east of Shianghawamsa village, which is near Shianghachingnyu village, where I stayed for a few days in early 2023. It's a truly fascinating area.

A special thank you to the people of Shianghachingnyu and Shianghawamsa villages, especially my friend Tonyei Ahang.
