Spread Eagle Falls

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

Located within the Shillong Cantonment, on the outskirts of the city, lies a sparkling waterfall which looks like an eagle with wings spread. Hence the name Spread Eagle Falls. The falls is locally known as Umkaliar or the falls into which Ka Liar slipped. A soothing setting amidst the calmness of nature - a treat to the eyes.No any road is found for the wonderful place communicating is very bad for the place visitors waste time for searching the place no security and name place is availabe for the wonderful place for which visitors avoid this place8 KM distance from Shillong Town, opposite eastern air command HQ; best to visit in the month May,June,July,August,September,& October.It's pleasant environment best for family picnic.Local people here are very respectable and very welcome to all who visit here.It's also called the sweet falls.. its kinda not so famous like other places in Shillong but the view is worth it. Especially if u go early in the morning wid no one around.A must visit for any tourist travelling in the north eastern states of India.

It is a beutiful and tall water fall, a place to go with your friends and family. But elder persons will face problem for going up and down by narrow stairs to see best part of the water fall. If my advice really helps you, please give it a thums up 👍🏻

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.

This september 26 2023 we visited this area guided by google map, when we reach there we find nothing....A big wire fence covered by ferns and plants, when we enquired local people they replied it cant be seen now a days, view point is all covered with trees, and there are no accessible roads to the falls. Same case for Beadon Bishop view point, the road is broken

Spread Eagle Falls, I remember this place when we were young we use to swim but now it's not a stream worthy of it's special features as clear water. Now all we need to fix our river system clean once again.

Good place but the place need to be clean up.

Good, but connectivity is worst.

Had to walk a lot.

Beautiful place.. must visit.. lovely falls.. beautiful in monsoons.

Also known as Sati falls or Umkaliar, the Spread Eagle Falls is placed at a distance of 6 km from the city and is one of the most popular waterfalls in Shillong. Equally popular amidst the locals and the tourists as picnic spot, these falls create a huge pool of water when they cascade down. The surroundings are verdant, peaceful and pristine. Lying in Shillong Cantonment area, spread eagle waterfalls is known to be widest waterfall of Shillong.

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.

Just a waterfall like others in Shillong ..

A must visit for any tourist travelling in the north eastern states of India. It's in Meghalaya, and what a better way to start/end your journey other than taking a picture with the beautiful waterfall in the background.
