India is home to countless natural wonders, from snow-covered mountains to beautiful beaches and lush green valleys. Among these treasures are some of the world’s most breathtaking waterfalls that attract nature lovers and travelers from everywhere. One such waterfall, known for its unique beauty and seven distinct streams, holds a special place in the hearts of visitors and locals alike.
The famous Seven Sisters Waterfall is located near the town of Sohra (Cherrapunji) in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Cherrapunji, already known for receiving one of the highest amounts of rainfall in the world, is the perfect home for such a spectacular natural wonder.
The Seven Sisters Waterfall is also called by two other names:
Locally, people often use these traditional names, while travelers usually know it as the Seven Sisters Waterfall.
The waterfall is unique because the water splits into seven different streams as it falls down the cliff. This natural design makes it look like seven sisters standing side by side, which is how it got its name. Many also say these streams represent the seven sister states of Northeast India — Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura.
