    Sweet Falls

    Meghalaya Travel Guide · Updated June 2026

    Near Shillong, Meghalaya·waterfall

    Overview

    Sweet Falls is one of the most dramatic waterfalls near Shillong. Located about five kilometers from the city center, the waterfall plunges sharply down a steep cliff surrounded by dense forest. Because of the vertical drop and narrow stream, the falls create an impressive natural spectacle during the rainy season. The surrounding landscape is rugged and relatively untouched, making the waterfall feel remote even though it is close to Shillong.
