FALLS AND LAKES TO VISIT DURING SHILLONG TOUR

NOKALIKAI FALLS-

The tallest plunge waterfall height 1115m situated near Cherrapunji "the wettest place on earth" the fall is fed by the rainwater colleted on the summit of comparatively small plateau and decrease in power during the dry season in December

ELEPHANT FALLS-

Elephant Falls was the British name of what the local Khasi people once referred to as Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew (or “Three Steps Waterfalls”) since the falls actually consisted of three sections in succession. We learned from a sign here that the British renamed the falls because there used to be a rock resembling an elephant near the left side of the main falls (which I think was the bottommost one). However, that rock was destroyed in an earthquake back in 1897.

MAWPHLANG FALLS-

This calm, serene and magnificent waterfall nestled away in the thick green forests of Shillong is perhaps the most soul-cleansing experience you will have in your life! While the waterfall in itself does offer something unique, it is also the entire environment around it that creates the magic. The extremely clean and pristine state of the water also adds to its charm and makes it look like a place right out of your favourite fairy tale.

This waterfall is the kind of place where you can conveniently take your lunch basket, sit beside the falling water and gaze at nature in its purest form as you picnic. The waterfall is surrounded by thick and flourishing trees on all sides and it does feel like you’re sitting in the middle of a forest.

BEADON FALLS-

Beadon Falls is one of the twin cascades situated amidst dense forestation in Shillong's picturesque Suna Valley. It is located about 2 km away from the bustling Bara Bazar area, thus having easy accessibility from the town's centre.
This waterfall passes through steep rocky formations before merging into the watercourse of the Umiam River. Falling from a high ridge into the deep gorge formed by this river, the waterfall mesmerises visitors with its stunning vista. 

 

UMIAM LAKE-

Umiam Lake (commonly known as Barapani Lake) is a reservior in the hills 15 km (9.3 mi) north of Shillong in the state of Meghalaya, India. It was created by damming the Umiam River in the early 1960s. The principal catchment area of the lake and dam is spread over 220 square km.
