Locate just 20 kms South of Nartiang at National Highway 6 (Shillong – Jowai Hightway), Tyrshi Falls Jowai's answer to Shillong's Elephant Falls. In fact it is three times taller than Elephant Waterfall. It is easily accessible from Jowai which is just 5 kms from here.

It is an unsung fall in Jaintia Hills District of Meghalaya state. A pretty arch bridge connects across an expanse of green paddy fields, which opens up to the gushing Tyrshi falls thundering down to the Pynthor (paddy-fields) below. A winding footpath offering a breathtaking and panoramic view of the Pynthor Nein, eases your trek down to the bottom of the falls, which glides down like milk over a vertical drop.

One can get down on the road and take a small walk to Tyrshi Falls. A hike through paddy fields alongside a gently flowing stream takes you to this beautiful and serene place. One should go below through further down steps and enjoy the water. As Elephant Falls you can reach at the base of Tyrshi Falls and feel the verve of water.

At this an untouched place in terms of tourists, there are no food joints nearby. Hence, please come here with some munchies. Locals from Nartiang, Shillong and Jowai come here in weekends and holidays for family leisure time.

This place is truly a heaven for nature lovers and people seeking for isolated peaceful destinations.

Best Time to visit: Monsoon is the best time to visit Tyrshi Falls to enjoy the full current white water, flowing down the rocks.

But one should come with good shoes as path can be muddy and rocks near falls are very slippery. There is no dustbin available at the site; hence visitors should not litter the waste near waterfall, as it ruins the ecosystem as well as beauty of place.
