How To Reach Umbyrlein Falls

Jowai, Meghalaya, India
Umbyrlein Falls is a majestic, yet relatively new and secluded, tourist spot located in the Rangad Village of the East Jaintia Hills. It is truly an off-the-beaten-path destination, tucked away from the main tourist circuit, offering a pristine and unspoiled natural environment. The falls are a magn ificent sight, cascading down rocky cliffs into a huge, clear natural pool at the bottom, which is often accessible via stone steps. The journey to the falls is an experience in itself, requiring a short, pleasant trek (about 500 meters) through stone pathways. The area surrounding the falls is a large meadow or grassland dotted with menhirs (local standing stones), gazebos, and park benches, offering a perfect, tranquil setting for a day trip, relaxation, and picnicking. Being in the East Jaintia Hills, it showcases a different geological and scenic character compared to the more popular sites closer to Jowai, offering vast panoramic views of the distant landscape.
