Best time to visit Lynsiar Falls: JFMAMJJASOND Oct – Mar — October to April; the pool is clearest after the monsoon settles

Lynsiar Falls is the kind of place Meghalaya keeps producing once you leave the main circuit — a wide, gentle double curtain of water dropping over a mossy ledge into a broad green pool, ringed by forest and usually quiet.

There are few facilities, so it feels far more natural than the ticketed roadside falls. The pool edges are shallow, but the site is unsupervised: swim only at the edges, and never after heavy rain when the flow can change fast.

We suggest Lynsiar to travellers who want quiet places rather than checklist sights. Ask us about access and current road conditions when you plan your trip.

Why visit

A quiet, uncrowded waterfall with a wide green pool — the opposite of the busy roadside falls.
