On the next day we trek down to another village of Kong thong, having a living root bridge.
Ancient trail of oranges farm on both sides .
A long difficult trail but a sweet pleasant taste of khasi oranges giving by a sweet kind older women, one among the oranges farmer soothing our thirty away.
Half an hour we reach the huge big ficus tree with its wide branches on all the sides, forming a living roots brigde, which is about 200 or more year older. These bridge form a network of transportation to the villager and connect one villages to another.

heading back to the village, the third day.. We stay in a bamboo hut, usually used by framer to stay during busy seasonal farming when they are late to travel back home.
But, the hut is quite attractive  , simple khasi traditional hut, very cozy  and pleasant View on the hills and villages. Self cook foods . It's provide travellers like me a long last memories, far away from crowded ,busy, hectic work of life. Here , every morning a view with a cup of coffee is amazing. It's a peace of mind  and a memories  to cherish.
