Byrdaw Falls

Mawlynnong Village, Meghalaya, India
Byrdaw Falls is a hidden gem in the East Khasi Hills, a stunning single-tiered waterfall that cascades down from a height into a crystal-clear pool. The falls are located in a secluded area, and a short trek through a dense forest is required to reach the viewpoint. The falls are particularly mesmer izing during the monsoon season, when the water flow is at its peak and the sound of the gushing water echoes through the valley. The falls are a perfect example of the raw power and beauty of nature in Meghalaya. The viewpoint near the falls offers a breathtaking view of the cascades and the surrounding lush green hills. The place is also steeped in local folklore, with a legend of a tragic love story associated with the falls. The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the place makes it a perfect spot for relaxation and photography. The falls are a great off-the-beaten-path destination for those who want to experience the true beauty of Meghalaya.
