The ideal period to visit Krang Suri Waterfall in Mawsynram, Meghalaya is during the post-monsoon months, which extend from late September to early December. In this season, the rainfall has ceased but enough water cascades down the falls to create the ethereal beauty Krang Suri is renowned for. The weather is pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold, with temperatures ranging between a comfortable 12°C to 20°C (54°F to 68°F). The water is crystal clear and the surrounding lush greenery provides a spectacular view. The monsoon season, from June to September, although showcasing a very voluminous waterfall, poses challenges due to heavy rainfall and difficult traveling conditions.
Visitors should avoid going during the peak of monsoon for safety reasons as the pathways might be slippery and the strong currents in the water can be dangerous. Moreover, the post-monsoon months provide the advantage of better lighting for photography, with the water reflecting mesmerizing shades of blue and green amidst the serene forest environment. Ensure to plan your visit on a weekday to avoid the crowd as weekends can get quite busy. Always check the weather forecast before planning your trip, as conditions can change rapidly in Meghalaya.
