Amazing living and almost eternal bridges in India (8 photos)
The bridge is a serious structure. After all, people’s health and even their lives depend on its quality. But if the materials are not very good, and a crossing needs to be built, then you can use the experience of the Indians, who approached the problem creatively. 
They grow bridges from the roots of the rubber plant. The roots are quite dense and thick, and as they grow, they intertwine with each other and form solid and reliable hanging systems. 
As the roots intertwine, the emerging path is strengthened with flat stones. In this regard, the Indians distinguished themselves and even built two-tier bridges. This architectural marvel, which has no analogues, is located in the outskirts of the small town of Cherrapunji. 
Living bridges, which use exclusively natural materials, are very old. Some are more than a century old. The length of such systems is on average 30 meters, and the capacity is approximately fifty people.
What is noteworthy is that such bridges do not deteriorate over time, since some roots are replaced by others. And the whole system, on the contrary, only becomes stronger and more thorough. 
The main disadvantage of such bridges is their long construction period - on average 10-12 years. In addition to India, they can be found in Indonesia. Naturally, for tourists it is a striking attraction, a photo of which you will definitely want to take as a souvenir. And once again be surprised at the power, reliability and simplicity of the greatest creator - nature.
