How to Get There

Wah Kaba Falls is easily accessible by road, located just 15–20 minute drive from Sohra town center. It’s right off the main highway, making it a convenient stop on the way to or from Cherrapunji.There is a designated viewpoint along the road, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the falls and the vast canyon below. For those who want a closer look, a short uphill trek leads to the top of the waterfall. The trail is brief but can be slippery, especially during or after rain, so caution is advised.

What to Expect

  • Seasonal Flow: The waterfall is at its most powerful during the monsoon season (June to September), though it may slow down or dry up during the winter and dry months.

  • Viewpoints: There are railings and a small viewing area along the road where you can stop for photos without needing to hike.

  • Trekking Trail: A short but moderately steep trail leads closer to the top of the falls. Basic footwear with grip is recommended.

  • Safety: The cliffs are high and exposed, so stay behind barriers and avoid going too close to the edge during wet conditions.
