About Krang Shuri Falls
Krang Shuri Falls is a scenic waterfall located near Amlarem in the West Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya, about 30 km from Jowai and 90 km from Shillong. It is notable for its cascading drop of about 30 feet into a striking turquoise-blue plunge pool surrounded by limestone rocks and forested slopes. The falls are accessed via a short trek with steps and a viewpoint, and are known for clear water, swimming and boating opportunities in the post-monsoon season.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a forested gorge with a wide cascade falling into a large turquoise-blue pool. A fenced viewpoint at the top offers panoramic views, while a stepped path of about 200 steps leads down to the pool level. At the base, visitors can view the falls up close, swim and take boat rides in the pool when conditions permit, and explore rocky banks and surrounding forest. Basic visitor facilities are available near the entrance and parking area.
