Mawsama Falls, Mawkma, Sohra, 4th Falls, Exploring Meghalaya Ep. 6.
Meghalaya - the abode of clouds - is a place blessed with countless natural wonders and Sohra or Cherrapunjee, being the most sought-after destination for travellers and tourists from all over the world, gives testament to the statement. Sohra, the former record holder of the wettest place on Earth, have within its threshold a wide collection of alluring waterfalls.
We made slow progress and about an hour of walking, we eventually found ourselves at the entry point to ‘Mawsawa Falls’. To reach the falls, we had to walk a short path along a small hill before making a heedful descend down a flight of steps carved right onto the side of the hill. As we got closer to the clearing of the forest, we could hear the familiar and alluring sound of flowing water. We were thrilled as we set foot on an unexpected sandy shore that stretched along the banks of the river. The riverbank is a beautiful place for recreation and the large rocks served as a comfortable and vantage location to sit back and unwind, while the water which is less than waist-level is perfect for a nice swim although this is advised only with local supervision. However, the main attraction was the captivating Mawsawa Falls itself which had its own unique charm that still manages to amaze us.
