Sweet Falls Shillong

If you’re planning a trip to Shillong, don’t miss the magnificent falls, famously known as the Sweet Waterfall Shillong. Hidden in the heart of Meghalaya’s hills, this gem is known for its rugged beauty and offers a tranquil escape from city life. Its allure lies in its raw and untamed surroundings, which feel like nature in its purest form. Visiting Sweet Falls is an experience that leaves you feeling connected to nature, with only the sound of water cascading down and the lush greenery surrounding you.

The Journey to Sweet Fall Shillong

 
Situated about 5 km from Happy Valley in Shillong, Sweet Falls offers a refreshing change from the typical tourist attractions. The route to the falls might be a bit rugged, but the reward is substantial. With a drop of around 315 feet, it ranks among the most strikingly steep waterfalls in the area. The water crashes down with such force that, from a distance, it almost appears like a long, white ribbon suspended in the air. Due to its sharp drop and the slippery rocks around the area, visitors are advised to be cautious.

When to Visit Sweet Falls

 
The best time to visit Sweet Falls is during the monsoon or just after (June to September), when the water flow is strong and the surroundings are green. For a gentler flow, the winter months (October to February) are ideal, providing a quieter atmosphere with the cool winter breeze enhancing the experience.
