About Elephant Falls, Shillong

Elephant Falls, located just 12 km from Shillong in Meghalaya, is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Northeast India. Named by the British after a rock resembling an elephant (now destroyed), the falls cascade in three distinct steps, each offering a unique view. The first fall is tucked between dense trees, the second is a wider and more prominent fall, and the third is the most spectacular, gushing down with full force. Surrounded by lush greenery and accessible via a short stairway, it’s a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. The sound of water amidst the tranquil forest adds to its charm. Visitors often stop here en route to Cherrapunji. Elephant Falls is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and a peaceful escape near Shillong.

Had a lovely experience exploring Assam and Meghalaya with Viacation. The team was very responsive and ensured everything went as planned. The destinations were stunning, and we got to explore culture, nature, and local food too. Would surely recommend them for a relaxed and well-curated Northeast trip!

Poora tour bahut achhi tarah se manage kiya gaya tha. Pickup aur transfers time pe the aur cab driver bhi friendly aur knowledgeable tha. Sightseeing spots like Dawki River, Living Root Bridge, aur Kaziranga safari hamesha yaad rahegi. Viacation ka thanks bolna chahunga for itna achha plan banane ke liye!
