It was really an adventure for me to enter the cave and cross into the darkness.
6. Elephant Fall (Shillong)
Elephant fall was the British name of what the local Khasi people once referred to as Three Steps Waterfalls. We learned from a sign here that the British renamed the falls because there used to be a rock resembling an elephant near the left side of the main falls, was destroyed in an earthquake back in 1897.
There were three waterfalls and the bottom tier was very impressive. The walking path gently downward from stairs. The water was flowing very fast. Be careful here.

I loved the most Nohwet Tong View in Meghalaya. It was really an awesome place where you can enjoy the whole day. But having a little time, we had to leave this amazing place. You know why this view was amazing?
Firstly, we saw Bangladesh view at this point. The viewpoint literally made of bamboo which was really dangerous. A small bamboo street was going to that point which really awesome.
