Situated in Meghalaya, Phe Phe Fall stands out as one of the region's finest waterfalls. The journey to this breathtaking destination requires a hike of approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Your expedition encompasses traversing a river bed, strolling through flat terrain, and ultimately being guided by the captivating sound of the waterfall itself. Be prepared to pay an excessive fee of around 100 rupees to cross a minor canal, a fee that locals might consider over the top. Despite this, the overall experience remains highly satisfying. It's advisable to bring spare clothing along if you're keen on taking a refreshing bath. Keep in mind that the location tends to be somewhat secluded. The splendor of Phe Phe Fall demands a certain level of dedication to reach its base, and without a doubt, the exertion is entirely justified. Getting there involves driving your car until you're just beyond Loomkyntoor Resort. From that point onward, the journey continues on foot. In the initial phase, you'll cross a stream (it's wise to don waterproof shoes for this) and cover approximately 1 kilometer to reach the descent starting point. At this juncture, a shop offers refreshments for purchase. Descending from here, you'll travel an additional kilometer or less to arrive at the falls' base. Caution is advised, particularly for elderly individuals, as the path isn't a simple one. Upon finally reaching your destination, your efforts will be rewarded with the sight of immaculately clear waters and the sheer power of the cascading water, inevitably resulting in a thorough soaking (carrying an extra set of clothes would be wise if you intend to luxuriate in the pristine, transparent waters).

There are no shops, not a living soul there, so carry adequate supplies, especially water, for the trek. The road to Phe Phe is marked on Maps, so finding the entry road isn't hard. From the Jowai Dawki road, enter the small road eastward marked as "Way to Lumkutoor Resort". After a while on the village road, tarmac ends and gravel road starts. Shouldn't be a problem for cars if they aren't too low. You will go past the Lumkutoor Resort and reach a shallow water crossing. You should park there if your car doesn't have a high ground clearance like a proper SUV, and walk for about 25min on flat open terrain of short grass. Bikes will have no problem crossing. There are no gates or ticket counters. The walking route isn't marked but is well trodden. Then from one point near the cliff of the hill you can see the waterfall from the top. To reach the waterfall you have to trek down the hill, cross a small stream, then keep climbing down the hill steps for about 20min. Wooden rail guards are there. The base of the waterfall, in rainy season, will not be blue. So if you want some worthy pics, visit in the winter or spring. There are no caretakers here, no lifejackets so you can swim at your own risk. About the actual experience of the waterfall, for me it triumphs all the waterfalls in Meghalaya. I went there in June. The sheer height and the direct flow of the water from the top is a sight to behold. The roaring sound, the strong wind of mist from the waterfall is of a different level. It's a must visit.

There are less stars to review this place. Less great adjectives to marvel this waterfall. Try to reach early(if you’re on a day trip from Shillong). A stop at Jayantee mata mandir, 2 hours from Shillong. Another 1-1.5 hours and you’ll reach the destination. Google maps can be trusted till the parking. You’ll be made to cross a small river in a boat. Around 1 minute. Then your walk starts. Follow the trail of pole and wires. Pathway has also been made by regular walking. It’ll take 15-30 minutes depending how fit and fast you are to reach the FIRST falls. The way to the first falls is great too. Picturesque. There’s a signboard to reach the second falls. The photo for which the falls is famous for. Climb down the stairs. Take care while going down/up. You might slip. Those are stones as stairs. Plenty of stairs. Good luck you unhealthy couch potatoes. Thumbs up to the fit people. Enjoy your trip. There are pitcher plants on the way. Those are insect eating plants. Or carnivorous plants. Don’t insert your body parts into it nor insert the plant in your body parts. DO NOT LITTER THE PLACE OR DIRTY THEY PLACE. May you be cursed forever if you do so. Enjoy the beauty as it is. Go whenever you feel like, these are pictures taken in February 2024.

2nd visit - This place never gets old. Once again we were blessed with perfect weather to explore the place. I love this place mainly bcoz how we have to walk up to a certain point and then there is a hike down way to reach the main point. Its a full workout plus the excitement. Also, if you have a 4x4 and you drive well - you can drive your car quite ahead from the entrance point. 1st Visit - What a beauty, however, one needs to put in some effort to reach the base of the falls and it’s totally worth the travel. How to reach: Your car travel up to a point just ahead of Loomkyntoor Resort. From there you have to travel on foot. Initially, you have to cross a stream (better wear comfortable waterproof shoes) and travel around 1KM to the starting point of descent (you can find a shop here to buy refreshments). From there, you have to travel down around another 1KM or less up to the base of the falls. One should be careful (especially for older people) as the path is not an easy one. Once you reach it, you will be rewarded with crystal clear waters and the force of water will definitely get you wet (better carry an extra pair if you want to enjoy the pristine clear water).
