Beadon Falls

Beadon Falls is a waterfall located in Shillong, East Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, situated close to Bishop Falls with which it forms a twin waterfall system. Fed by monsoon rain, the falls cascade over rugged cliffs surrounded by forested slopes. Notable for its height and seasonal flow, it is a popular natural attraction near the city centre, offering scenic views and photography opportunities, especially during and after the monsoon when water volume is highest.

Visitors can expect a tall cascade waterfall set in a forested gorge on the outskirts of Shillong, viewed from designated viewpoints above the gorge. The falls flow strongly during monsoon and post-monsoon months and reduce significantly in dry season. The site is surrounded by green slopes and rocky cliffs, with Bishop Falls located adjacent. Visitors can explore viewpoints for sightseeing and photography; direct access to the base is generally restricted and involves steep terrain.

Named after Sir Cecil Beadon, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal during the British colonial period, the falls has been a documented landmark of Shillong since the colonial era
