Pelga Falls

Rongram, Meghalaya, India
Nature’s Symphony: Pelga Falls is a charming and easily accessible waterfall located just a short distance from the main town of Tura and the Rongram block. It is a favorite spot for locals looking for a quick nature retreat. The waterfall is not exceptionally high but is known for its graceful ca scade and the tranquil atmosphere of the surrounding forest. The water flows over a series of rocky ledges before settling into a clear pool at the bottom. One of the unique features of this site is the traditional Garo bamboo bridge that spans the Ganol River nearby. This bridge is a testament to the engineering skills of the local tribes. The area is lush with tropical flora, and the sound of the falls creates a soothing background melody. It has become a popular spot for anglers and picnickers in recent years. The Tourism Department has developed the area by constructing footpaths and a viewpoint, making it safe for visitors of all ages. The proximity to the Rongram market makes it a convenient stop for travelers. It is an ideal place to spend a quiet afternoon reading a book or enjoying a meal with friends while listening to the birds and the water.
