One of the best places to witness them in India is Shillong.

Amazing India. India is one of the country I can’t get enough. There are a lot to see even tho sometimes its like a mess there but I enjoy it every time I am going to this country. The last visit was Meghalaya, which I have never heard this name before but after I saw some amazing pictures from the internet then I can’t stop myself to buy a ticket to visit this region and it was so worth it.

As the name goes on, it's almost looks like the end of the world when I'm walking and sitting on the edges of these mountains. You cannot see anything far behind and the clouds just fill up the valley; which made me feel like the clouds can take me if only they can bear my weight haha. This famous falls is named after a woman, called Nogalikai whose story is that she was an ordinary woman but did extraordinary things to save her family and then when she was cheated she felt broken and died because of that. So these water coming out of that mountain is said to be her tears falling from heaven. Thus even today the local people admire this falls to be sacred and you're not allowed to take any leaves back home from this place, as it is a sin. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #indiatravel #northeast #leaveyourmark#urbanexplorer
