Crinoline Falls Tourism

Crinoline Falls is a mesmerizing waterfall located in the heart of Shillong, Meghalaya, India. Tucked away in the East Khasi Hills, the falls cascade from a considerable height, creating a natural pool at its base known as Crinoline Swimming Pool. The word 'Crinoline' refers to a stiffened or hooped petticoat worn to make a long skirt stand out. The falls have been named so perhaps because the shape the water takes while descending resembles a crinoline skirt. Surrounded by lush greenery and unique Meghalayan flora, the site is an ideal escapade for those seeking solace from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The tranquility of the waterfall combined with the chirping of birds and the gentle rustle of leaves, offers a therapeutic experience to visitors. The pool is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike for swimming and relaxing. Additionally, the proximal location of Crinoline Falls to Shillong's main areas makes it an easily accessible destination for a short trip or a leisurely day out.
