Nohsngithiang Falls, Seven-segmented waterfall in East Khasi Hills, India.

Nohsngithiang Falls drops 315 metres over limestone cliffs of the Khasi Hills, 1 kilometre south of Mawsmai village. In the rainy season it divides into seven narrow streams across an average width of 70 metres, giving it the name Seven Sisters Waterfalls.

The Khasi people have inhabited these hills for generations, living alongside natural features like this waterfall as part of their ancestral lands. The site has remained a known landmark within their traditional territories.

The Khasi people hold the waterfall in their local stories and spiritual beliefs about the land. Local communities visit during monsoon season as part of their connection to the natural world.

From Shillong, the drive takes roughly two hours to reach the viewing area near Mawsmai village. The best time to visit is during monsoon season when water flow is at its fullest.

The waterfall flows primarily during monsoon season, making it invisible or nearly dry for much of the year. This seasonal nature means the same location looks completely different depending on when you visit.
