Both these villages are on entirely different routes. Nongriat village is near Cherrapunji. For the double decker root bridge trek we stayed in Cherrapunji. To visit the Riwai village root bridge we did a one day trip from Shillong.

Hi Pink Jam
Thanks for those comments.
I guess it should be a good time in December. We visited the place in the month of October (24 Oct 2011, to be precise). It was not cold and it didn’t rain. It could be a bit more colder in December, but I guess that would make the walk even more enjoyable and refreshing. I’m not sure about the rains, because rains in Meghalaya can be unpredictable.
We started around 9.30 in the morning reached the bridge at 12 noon. We did make a few stops in between – at the long bridge and at a natural pool.
We started from the double decker at 1.00 pm and reached back at 3.00 pm. (I have photographic evidence for the start/end times 🙂 )
I would recommend you to stay at Cherrapunji. Shillong is too far away ( 1.30 hour drive, around 50 km) if you would want to start the trek early. We stayed at Halari Restaurant & Lodging, (9862605028, Mr. Bansan Lyngdoh, halari.sohra@gmail.com). It was a 20 min drive from the lodge to the trekking start point.

You could also try Cherrapunji Holiday Resort. Heard very good reviews about the place and it is near the trekking start route.

Hope these points were of some help. If you need more, feel free to write.

And I am planning to visit there in December 2013…is it a good time? also how many hours does it take from the start of the trek to the Double Decker bridge…and back? Also do you think I should stay in Cherrapunji or Shillong to be able to visit here?

Cheers! 🙂
