M I L K Y (03)

This is the 3rd part or last part of the Elephant Falls is situated at the outskirts of the main city of Shillong. It is almost 12 kms away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.Elephant Falls was the British name of what the local Khasi people once referred to as Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew (Three Steps Waterfalls) since the falls actually consisted of three sections in succession. The unique part of Elephant Falls in Meghalaya is that it is a two-tier waterfall set in the dingles of the rocks.I learned from a sign here that the British renamed the falls because there used to be a rock resembling an elephant near the left side of the main falls (which I think was the bottommost one). However, that rock was destroyed in an earthquake back in 1897.

Of the three waterfalls (all of which were easily reached by the same short and easy walking path), thought the bottom tier was the most impressive. The walking path gently descended from the entrance and a bridge traversing the stream between the 2nd and 3rd falls.
