If there’s one thing Meghalaya does better than most places, it’s waterfalls. Planning a trip to Meghalaya without seeing them is like going to Agra and skipping the Taj Mahal—yep, that level of mistake. Meghalaya is full of jaw-dropping gems, and most of them come cascading down cliffs, hidden in forests, or gushing out of nowhere after a good rain.
Some of the most famous waterfalls in Meghalaya include Nohkalikai Falls, India’s tallest plunge waterfall, Wei Sawdong with its crystal-clear tiered pools, and Dainthlen Falls, tied to a local legend. Most waterfalls are found around Cherrapunji (Sohra), Mawsynram, and Shillong, so it’s easy to fit them into your itinerary.
And the best part? You don’t need to be a hardcore trekker to enjoy most of them. Just bring your camera, curiosity, and maybe a raincoat, this is Meghalaya, after all. Ready to chase waterfalls? Let’s go!
