Kosi Falls
The Rhythmic Waters of Kosi: Kosi Falls is a majestic natural attraction located on the way to the famous Balpakram National Park. The waterfall is formed by a mountain stream that plunges over a series of rocky tiers before settling into a clear pool at the bottom. The sound of the falling water cr eates a meditative atmosphere that draws visitors seeking peace. Surrounding the falls are massive granite boulders and a thick canopy of deciduous trees. During the monsoon, the volume of water increases significantly, creating a powerful mist that cools the entire area. The pool at the base is shallow and safe for wading during the winter months. It is a popular spot for locals to spend their weekends and for travelers to take a break during long journeys. The area is also rich in butterflies, which can be seen fluttering around the damp rocks. The untouched beauty of Kosi Falls makes it a highlight of the South Garo Hills tourism circuit. It represents the raw and wild nature of Meghalaya’s interior regions.
