Experiences

“Phe Phe Falls tumbles in shimmering tiers through emerald canyons, where turquoise pools and forested silence create a hidden symphony of Meghalaya’s wild heart.”

Hidden deep in the green folds of the West Jaintia Hills, Phe Phe Falls is one of Meghalaya’s best-kept secrets. A two-tiered waterfall cascading into jewel-toned pools, it offers a dreamy setting for those seeking serenity off the beaten path. The approach—through bamboo groves, forested trails, and a bit of adventurous scrambling—makes the reward all the more breathtaking. It’s not just a destination but a quiet escape where nature does all the talking.
