Wahrashi Falls - History, Timings & Entry Fee

At a distance of 63 km from Shillong, Wahrashi or Wah Rashi Kshaid is a stunning waterfall situated at Syntung village near Shillong, Meghalaya. It is one of the top waterfalls in Meghalaya and among the best places to visit near Shillong.

Formed over Wah Rashi Kshaid River, the little known Wahrashi Water Falls is a congregation of eight waterfalls. Encircled with cluster of sacred hills, only tier 3 of the waterfall is made accessible to the public. The other levels, although visible, are not accessible. There are some viewpoints for the visitors to get the better views of the waterfalls. The area surrounding the waterfalls is mostly marshy land with a lot of wild vegetation, with pitcher plant saplings growing in abundance.

The road to Wahrashi is extremely bad and only Heavy vehicles like Trucks, Buses, Sumo, Jeeps, SUVs and other 4x4 wheel drive vehicles can easily go through the road. This makes it very difficult for common people to access the waterfalls. 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. There is also a wooden bridge to cross the river.

Entry Fee: Rs.10 for Adults & Rs. 5 for Children
