Kynrem Falls

Almost as tall as Seven Sisters Falls, Kynrem Falls is located inside Thangkharang Park, near Cherrapunji. This one’s a gorgeous three-tier falls, nestled amidst lush green forests of the Khasi Hills. A must visit during the monsoons and even winters, Kynrem Falls is also home to the famous Pillar Rock or Shiva Rock. Locally known as Khoh Ramhah or Mothorp, this is a huge rock located just beside the falls offering stunning views of the plains of Meghalaya.

Bishop and Beadon Falls

Located in Shillong, the twin falls of Bishop and Beadon are the most spectacular falls in Meghalaya. While Bishop Falls is a flawless stream cascading like a silky cloth down the East Khasi Hills, Beadon Falls cascades down rough edges, rocky hills and stones. However, they both drop down into a deep gorge of Umiam river and flow through the picturesque Suna Valley.

Mawphlang Falls

A spectacular multiple-tier waterfall, Mawphlang Falls cascades from a great height, and has the most serene fall. Located inside the Mawhplang Sacred Forest, this waterfall with a small plunge pool is the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and spend some time amidst tranquil nature.
