Kynrem Falls, Three-tiered waterfall in East Khasi Hills district, India
Kynrem Falls is a three-tiered waterfall in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, located inside Thangkharang Park. The water drops over three separate steps before reaching the ground, forming small pools between each level.
The sources record no founding date or history for Thangkharang Park or the falls; the only documented facts are that Kynrem Falls lies within the park, 12 km from Cherrapunji in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, and that it is a three-tiered fall dropping 305 m, the seventh highest in India.
The falls lie inside Thangkharang Park, a viewpoint area in the East Khasi Hills that visitors enter to see the waterfall and the surrounding limestone country. The name Kynrem is used locally for the three-step fall, and the two streams of the last tier are the feature people watch from the park.
Kynrem Falls lies 12 kilometres from Cherrapunji, inside Thangkharang Park in the East Khasi Hills district. The water falls in three tiers from a height of 305 metres, and the fall spreads into two streams that merge on the last leg of the third tier.
The area around Cherrapunji is one of the rainiest places on earth, and this is why the falls carry water even outside the monsoon season. On some days, mist covers the lower part of the falls so thickly that you can hear the water but barely see it.
