Chhypme Waterfall Shillong: A Hidden Paradise in Meghalaya's Hills

If you're deeply craving an offbeat adventure in Meghalaya, Chypme Waterfall should always be on your top radar.

Tucked away in the scenic beauty of Jaintia Hills, just about 126 km from Shillong, this secret marvel is perfect for all nature lovers, photographers, and thrill-seekers alike.

How to Reach Chypme Waterfall-

Your journey commences at Brishyrnot village, a much serene settlement in the Jaintia Hills. From here, you have your two options:

Trek for around 2–3 hours through the forest trails to reach the falls and the nearby Chypme caves, perfect for all travel explorers.

Drive directly to the site with a sturdy 4x4 vehicle, ideal for those very short on time but high on the adventure-

Tip: Hire a local guide from Brishyrnot. There are no such signs or trail markers, and it's much easier to get lost in the dense forest without having one.

Why Visit Chypme?

Chypme isn't just another waterfall, it's a very raw, majestic, and much-untouched gem that highly rewards those willing to step off the beaten track.

The falls are beautifully nestled very deep in nature, offering much peace, beauty, and a spiritual calm that's very hard to even describe.

Whether you're just trekking through the lush greenery, exploring some mysterious caves, or simply soaking in the cascade's wide roar, Chypme is pure magic.

Travel Caution-

Be very informed about the overcharging. As some may try to charge you over 3 times the price for guides, vehicle services, or even for bamboo boat rides.

So, always ask the locals or multiple sources to confirm about the fair pricing.
