Shillong
Step into Meghalaya's most iconic waterfall, a three-tiered cascade hidden inside a lush gorge just minutes from the city. The falls tumble dramatically over mossy rocks through thick subtropical forest, and the mist that hangs in the air gives the entire place a dream-like quality. It is one of those spots where you genuinely forget you are close to a capital city.
Wear non-slip footwear — the stone steps near the lower tier get very slippery. Visit on a weekday morning to avoid weekend crowds from Shillong city.
