Shillong || Syntung village || Syntung waterfall || Wahrashi Falls ||7 waterfall || Meghalaya
The ride from Shillong to Syntung is rough – but just like most other places, once you reach your destination, it becomes worth it. Syntung is a quaint little village located in Mawkynrew of East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya. With a population of just about a 1000 people, this village houses approx. 180 families as per census 2011.
Road leading to WahrashiROAD LEADING TO WAHRASHI
The Wah Rashi Kshaid river is a congregation of nine waterfalls, known as the Wahrashi Water Falls. To reach the Wahrashi Waterfalls, one has to take the route starting from Shillong, continuing towards Smit, Thangsning and passing through Laitdiengsai, Jongsha, Mawkynrew, Jatah and Pashang. Phasang is the last village before Syntung. From Shillong and back, the journey is around 150 km. The roads leading are broken and in a very bad condition, which is why the journey becomes longer than it should be. According to legends, Syntung is considered to be one of the oldest villages of the East Khasi Hills. The Suting, Nongrum, Mukhim and Lynshiang clans were the earliest settlers here.

The Wahrashi Waterfalls Complex cum Recreational Centre in Syntung was opened to the public as recent as December 2015. This project was approved by the North Eastern Council, DONER, GOI, at a total cost of 51 lakhs, of which 11 lakhs were donated by the Dorbar Shining, Syntung – which is the project’s implementing agency. A peripheral footpath, a parking lot, a small rain shelter, an observatory park cum children’s playground and toilets were taken up as part of the project. This was done with the sheer motive of developing the tourism industry in the State. Meghalaya – with its many picturesque waterfalls, beautiful landscape and pleasant climate – has the immense potential to become one of the major tourist destinations in the country, and has the ability to create avenues for income generation for the local people in the different parts of the State.
The rest houseTHE REST HOUSE
The department of tourism, Meghalaya has indeed done a lot to preserve the area around these falls. After travelling for almost three hours from Shillong, we finally reached our destination. Once there, we could hear the waterfalls even before we actually saw them. It was a beautiful day and we soon found out that we were the only ones there. The path from the main street to the actual falls, is laid out well with concrete steps that lead to a small rest house for visitors.
The small path leading to the fallsTHE SMALL PATH LEADING TO THE FALLS
The weather in the East Khasi Hills is mostly cool and wet, with light rains and fog, and an average visibility of just 10 km that tend to reduce to 2 km during monsoons. This is one reason why one has to be extremely careful while driving as the broken, steep and narrow roads can be a cause of severe accidents. During peak time, there are usually many students of Meghalaya University, leading the crowd around the place, assisting them with life jackets, food and other sorts of help. The Wahrashi Falls are encircled by a cluster of sacred hills.
The sacred forest surrounding the fallsTHE SACRED FOREST SURROUNDING THE FALLS
For over a century, the villagers have preserved these hills and till today, no one is allowed to cut their trees. That is why the locals call it their sacred grove. The nine-tier falls, start from these hills, form beautiful gorges and finally become a part of the Wah Rashi Kshaid river. According to Phiso, my friend and local guide (a student of Micro Biology, Meghalaya University), the villagers maintain a strong sense of community to protect and preserve these rivers, so much so that they maintain the status of a human being. A lot of individual effort goes into maintaining these water bodies. Most of the older folk, till date turn to face the river when they pray. This is an age-old belief that still holds weight.

Until now, only tier 3 of the waterfalls are made accessible to the public. The other levels, although visible, are not accessible. The area surrounding the waterfalls is mostly marshy land with a lot of wild vegetation, with pitcher plant saplings growing in abundance.

According to our guide the main reason why these falls are still unknown to the rest of the country is because of the commutation. The road to Wahrashi is extremely bad and the authorities have just developed the few areas surrounding the falls. This makes it very difficult for common people to access the waterfalls.
WAHRASHI FALLS, SYNTUNG, MEGHALAYA
Wahrashi Water Falls is a congregation of eight waterfalls. Only tier 3 of the waterfall is made accessible to the public.
If your starting from Shillong then take the Old Jowai Road and head towards Nongthymmai, and go through Smit village, go left from the junction between Mawkynrew and Lailyngkot. Travel through Jongsha village, Mawkynrew village and Jatah village. Better Follow Google Map.

Byrdaw Falls-Pamshutia, Shillong- Meghalaya ৷৷ A Hidden Falls
A Hidden Falls in A Rain Forest
It was about 73km from Shillong the destination is near the Indo-Bangladesh border. It’s a most beautiful gigantic Waterfall I had seen so far, known as Byrdaw Falls near Pomshutia Village in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya just about 5km ahead of reaching Dawki. To reach the waterfall, we had to walk bout an hour for 2 Kms and the path was very steep and slippery like an eel. And even though we had sports shoes on, we faced a lot of problem on the way. Further we had to cross one hanging almost broken foot bridge and just one wrong step and we would have gone all the way down to…………. Anyway, as we reached on the spot felt that we just landed on the Heaven but, it was very breezy and was spraying water everywhere.
