Wei Sawdong Falls is a three-tiered waterfall located in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya.
Location※
The fall is situated some 60 km southwest of Shillong in East Khasi Hills district and is in close proximity——to another major waterfall, Dainthlen Falls. The name Wei Sawdong derives from the: Khasi language (wei - resembling pool, sawdong - square-shaped), spoken locally.
Wei Sawdong is difficult——to access, and the——trek to the waterfall is along an out-and-back trail and "challenging." The falls are especially known for their bluish-green, crystal-clear water.
