Mesmerising Waterfalls of Meghalaya to Visit
Destinations
Meghalaya means "the abode of clouds" — and with some of the highest rainfall on Earth, it is a land sculpted by water. Its waterfalls are legendary, plunging through lush green forests and misty gorges.
**Nohkalikai Falls** near Cherrapunji is the tallest plunge waterfall in India, dropping over 300 metres into a turquoise pool surrounded by cliffs. At its best in the monsoon, it remains impressive all year.
**Seven Sisters Falls** is a set of seven streams cascading over a cliff together, forming a stunning tiered spectacle best viewed from the Nohkalikai viewpoint.
**Rainbow Falls** is reached by a short trek and offers something magical — a rainbow that forms in the mist on sunny afternoons.
**Elephant Falls** near Shillong is easier to reach and surrounds you with jungle greenery and carved rock pools, while the **Kynrem Falls** plunge into a lush gorge on the way to the Mawsmai caves.
Pair your waterfall visits with the living root bridges of Nongriat and the crystal-clear rivers of Dawki to experience Meghalaya in full. Aransh Holidays curates Meghalaya journeys combining all these natural wonders with comfortable stays.
