01 — The story

Wah Kaba Falls is a waterfall near Cherrapunji in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, in north-eastern India. Its water comes off a steep rock face and falls approximately 170 to 190 metres before reaching the gorge below.

The falls are visible from the road on the way from Shillong to Cherrapunji, so they can be seen while travelling between the two towns. A local legend says that two fairies live at the falls.
