Dainthlen Falls, located near Cherrapunji in Meghalaya, India, is one of the most enchanting waterfalls in the region. The falls are steeped in local folklore and are named after a mythical serpent, 'Thlen', which was slain by locals here to rid themselves of its terror. Unlike other waterfalls, Dainthlen Falls doesn't plunge down a rocky cliff; instead, the water cascades over a flat surface before subtly diving into a deep gorge, creating a serene and picturesque spectacle. The surrounding area is a vast plateau with soft grass cover, making it a perfect spot for picnics and leisurely walks. As you get closer to the falls, the sound of the cascading water and the cool, misty breeze provide a rejuvenating experience. This place remains pristine and unspoiled, offering visitors a chance to enjoy the beauty of nature in a peaceful setting. The panoramic view of the waterfall and the gorge below presents an incredible photo opportunity. The simplicity and tranquility of Dainthlen Falls make it a magnetic spot for nature lovers and those looking for a respite from the bustling city life.
