Isa Khan Faces His Fears: The Harrowing Trek to Thlu Chjawpaw Falls

Thlu Chjawpaw Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Meghalaya, according to travel influencer Isa Khan. He believes it is the tallest he has seen in the region. But reaching this breathtaking spot is no easy task. Before adding it to your travel list, here are some important things to know.

A Trek That Tests Your Limits

The trek to Thlu Chjawpaw Falls begins at Nongnah village and is not for the faint-hearted. The trek lasts approximately 10 hours, from start to finish, including the coming back part. It needs physical strength, perseverance, and a healthy will to brave through the tough trails.

Dangerous and Risky Trails

This trek is perhaps the most dangerous you will ever experience. There are a few points where you will be at the edge of a cliff. One misplaced step can result in serious injuries or even be fatal. This route is for only those who have faith in their trekking abilities.

Slippery Rocks Make It Tougher

The ground surrounding the waterfall is very slippery from the flowing water. You will have to take great care not to slip. A little slipping can lead to a hurtful fall, making it a hazardous trip for one who is not prepared.

A Near-Vertical Climb with a Rope

The toughest bit is when you have to climb down a nearly 90-degree rock face to the base of the waterfall. In this case, you will be required to wrap a rope around a tree and then make your way down. It is not for the faint of heart and needs guidance.
