Elephant Falls, located near Shillong in Meghalaya, is a captivating three-tiered waterfall known for its unique beauty and historical significance. The name originates from a large elephant-shaped rock that once stood near the falls, which was unfortunately destroyed in an earthquake. Despite this, the name persists, capturing the essence of the site. Each tier of the falls offers a distinct experience, from the broad, tranquil cascade of the first tier to the dramatic, sudden drop of the third. Visitors can enjoy well-maintained paths leading to each tier, and can also explore nearby attractions like Shillong Peak. The monsoon season, from June to September, offers the most impressive water flow, but also presents slippery trails requiring caution.
