Mawsmai Falls
Mawsmai Falls, also known as Nohsngithiang Falls or Seven Sisters Falls, is a spectacular seven-segmented waterfall that plunges over the edge of a tall cliff in the Mawsmai Valley. The falls are so named because they are seven distinct streams of water that cascade down the cliff face side-by-side, symbolizing the seven northeastern states of India. The sight is particularly enchanting during the monsoon season, when all seven streams are in full flow, creating a spectacular and thunderous roar. The falls are set against a backdrop of lush green hills and are often shrouded in a fine mist, which adds to their ethereal beauty. A well-maintained viewpoint provides a panoramic view of the falls and the surrounding valleys, including the plains of Bangladesh on a clear day. The falls are a perfect example of the raw power and beauty of nature in Meghalaya. The Mawsmai Eco Park is located nearby, offering an additional vantage point and a pleasant recreational area.
