I recently had the pleasure of visiting the mesmerizing Rainbow Falls in Meghalaya, and I must say, it was an experience that left me awestruck. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and rolling hills of Meghalaya, this hidden gem is a sight to behold.

The journey to Rainbow Falls was an adventure in itself. As we trekked through the dense forests, we were treated to breathtaking vistas and the soothing sounds of nature. The trail was well-marked, making it relatively easy to navigate. Along the way, we encountered vibrant flora and fauna, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

Upon reaching the falls, I was instantly captivated by its sheer beauty. The water cascading down the rocky cliffs created a mesmerizing spectacle. The mist that enveloped the surroundings added a touch of magic to the scene. As sunlight filtered through the mist, it formed a stunning rainbow that arched over the waterfall, hence the name "Rainbow Falls."

The sight of the rainbow blending with the lush green surroundings was truly a feast for the eyes. It felt like stepping into a fairytale. I couldn't resist taking numerous photos to capture the ethereal beauty of the falls. Every angle offered a unique perspective, and I found myself spellbound by the play of light and water.

The tranquility of the place was another highlight. Far away from the bustling city, the sounds of nature were the only soundtrack to our visit. It was a serene and peaceful retreat, allowing me to reconnect with myself and appreciate the wonders of the natural world.

I must commend the local authorities for maintaining the area so well. The path leading to the falls was clean and well-maintained, and there were safety precautions in place to ensure a secure visit. The presence of knowledgeable guides further enhanced the experience, as they shared interesting facts and stories about the falls and the region.

If you're planning a trip to Meghalaya, I highly recommend including Rainbow Falls in your itinerary. It's a true hidden gem that showcases the untouched beauty of nature. Whether you're an adventure seeker, a nature lover, or simply someone seeking solace, this place has something to offer everyone.

Note: It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes and carry sufficient water and snacks during the trek. Also, be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity as the trail involves some uphill sections.

This was a little farther from double root bridge, around 40 min hike. I saw beautiful blue and clean streams amidst the jungle which kept me motivated. For the longest there was no sign of the waterfall but thanks to a couple of strangers on the way who told me to continue. And man was it worth it! It was the most beautiful sight!! From the top one can just see the blue of water but go down and that's where the rainbow is visible from. It's very subtle but beautiful. Such pristine surroundings. It's breathtaking! Photos definitely don't do justice to the place!!!.
There is a maggi shop also to relax and eat and soak in the view.
You might feel tired at the end of the double root but this will absolutely refresh you. One can also take a dip in the water! So do do go!!
Also, would advise to get a hiking stick at the entrance. It comes in very handy while going back and climbing all the stairs.

This is a cherry on cake experience once you reach Double Decker Living Roots bridge. The route is risky and there is a tough living roots bridge which is loose and we passed via it very carefully.

The waterfall has super chilled water and bathing in it was a different ballgame. We thoroughly enjoyed our journey.
