Bishop Falls, Three-tiered waterfall in Shillong, India.
Bishop Falls drops 135 meters in three distinct sections, creating white water ribbons against the dark rock face of Meghalaya's highlands.
The waterfall received its name during British colonial times and stands as India's twenty-second highest natural water cascade formation.
Local residents of Shillong gather at Bishop Falls for traditional family gatherings and celebrations throughout the dry season.
Visitors can reach the viewing platform by taking a narrow road from Mawlai to the observation point across the deep gorge.
A hydroelectric power station at the base of Bishop Falls converts the water force into electricity for the surrounding communities.
