Spread Eagle Falls — Attraction in Meghalaya

This place not very accessible or well maintained. It is as natural as nature gets, but only if you are okay with the pollution in the stream. I couldn't reach the waterfall, neither attempted to because of the polluted end of the stream where I started.

But the catch here is that, if you follow the trek uphill like I did, you will enjoy a very pleasing view of the pine trees.Location: East Khasi Hills District, Shillong

nature enthusiast, I wanted to see this strange named waterfall. We walked for 20 minutes after reaching the point from where the walk starts. Did not find any waterfall and even the staff accompanying me who were from Shillong had not seen it. We gave it up after sometime and thought nobody should waste any effort looking for it.
