When we talk about bamboo, most people imagine a fast-growing, eco-friendly plant that is widely used across Asia. But Meghalaya bamboo holds a unique charm of its own. Grown in the pristine hills and valleys of Northeast India, Meghalaya’s bamboo is not just another plant – it is a way of life, a source of sustainability, and a treasure for natural wellness.
