From waterfalls that represent each of the modern states of the Northeast of India to lore that honours the region’s legendary chiefs, this trek has more than enough for you to soak in.

Waterfalls flow from the hills of Meghalaya like rain pours from the clouds that the state takes its name from, freely and frequently. And perhaps one of the most impressive waterfalls here is the Nohsngithiang Falls, better known as the Seven Sisters Waterfalls. On this trek, you’ll not only get a great view of these falls but you’ll also get a chance to bathe in some of the region’s folklore. The Nohsngithiang Falls comprises of seven different streams, each of which is supposed to represent one of the north-eastern states of India. This is where it gets its modern name from. There’s more to this trek than India’s fourth highest waterfalls. Umrohpei means “through the holes” in Khasi, and this is exactly how another waterfall on the trail appears, emerging unexpectedly from a cave in the cliff, thus earning itself this name.
