Siej Falls
A Serene Natural Retreat: Siej Falls is a hidden waterfall located very close to the town of Mairang. It is known for its multi-tiered cascades that flow gracefully over rocky terrain. The falls are surrounded by dense foliage and pine trees, creating a secluded atmosphere for visitors. Unlike the m ore famous falls in Cherrapunji, Siej Falls remains relatively quiet and pristine. It is a favorite spot for locals who come here for weekend picnics and relaxation. The sound of the rushing water combined with the chirping of birds makes it a meditative experience. The path leading to the falls is a short trek through local farmlands, allowing tourists to see the rural life of the Khasi people. During the rainy season, the waterfall gains immense volume and presents a thunderous display of nature's power. It is an ideal spot for those who want to escape the crowd and enjoy nature in its purest form.:
