Top Attractions around cherrapunjee

At a distance of 7.5 km from Cherrapunji Bus Stand, Wah-kaba falls is a seasonal waterfall located in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya. Situated on Shillong - Cherrapunji Road, it is one of the popular waterfalls in Cherrapunji and among the best places to experience Cherrapunji Tourism. The waterfall drops from a steep rocky side and plunges hundreds of meters down to a gorge. The water flowing through the falls is crystal clear but surprisingly the water tastes nasty. Situated right on the road side, it is easily accessible and needs a short hike to reach the waterfall viewpoint. Visitors can even go to the edge of the waterfall where one can see some safety barriers in place to prevent accidents. One should be careful standing on top of the waterfall as well, it's very windy everywhere. There is also a smaller waterfall on the way to the much bigger Wah-kaba. The best time to visit the falls is during the rainy season. The entire area is rain fed and hence the glory of the falls depends on rains. One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Sohra. Wakaba Falls is a two-tiered waterfall perched atop about 600 feet. The water streams through a densely forested hill , and then plunges down a canyon straight into a deep gorge. The musical roar of the cascading falls can be heard from far off, while the silvery waters of the tiered plunge look like a glistening ribbon amidst lush greenery.
​While the waterfall can be visited throughout the year, monsoon adds a new life to the place, and the waters creates white foam amidst the rising mist. The other side of the falls provides a panoramic view of the surrounding beauty.
​It is truly one of the most adventurous places to visit in Sohra.
