DAY-2:
Places: Shillong- Krang Shuri Waterfall - Dawki River - Pynursla
Krang Shuri: As we reach the Krang Shuri waterfall we'll have a quick breakfast and start the hike to the waterfall immediately. It's a hike of around 10-15 minutes that goes through the forest. Just a matter of 2-3 minutes more till you collect the life jackets & wear them (Yeah, they are mandatory!) and the waterfall is all yours to explore! We spend plenty of time here playing in the azure blue water!
Dawki River: Post Cliff Jump in KrangShuri we will be heading to the boating point in Dawki river. It takes almost an hour to reach there. As you walk down towards the boats, you will see a board saying "Do Not Cross The Border - India" towards your left. Don't be tempted to cross it because the Indian check post is hardly at a few meters distance behind you & a BSF personnel will be somewhere around you keeping a watch. ;)
We'll wear life jackets & start the boat ride. In the same boat ride, the boatman will be taking us to the cliff jumping point and then at the end to a small island. The height of the cliff is around 25 ft. And jumping off that is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

If you're a swimmer, don't forget to carry your swimming goggles!

The trek has an initial descent for around 25 minutes into a valley where the Umrew river flows. You will cross this river over a few bamboo bridges & few stones & that's where the ascent of another hill starts. This ascent will take you through the lush green forest, where the water stream accompanies you towards your left. Birds chirp, the wind blows through the trees like a whistle, the sound of the water waves - it all brings nothing but solitude to your soul. After around two hours you'll reach the U Mawryngkhang stone. We shall spend some time here capturing the beautiful view. Returning is through the same route.

On the way, we cross suspension bridges. We will have breakfast here. Post that, we head to Rainbow waterfall.
Rainbow waterfall: After 4.5 km from Double-decker root bridge we will reach the Rainbow waterfall, the sound of which falls onto your ears from around 100 meters behind. And the adventurous kid in you won't stop but run towards it! That sight is what is wholly rewarding. And swimming into those azure blue waters is just beyond words!
We shall spend a plentiful time here.
We come back the same way. On the way back we will have lunch. While climbing back those steps from the Double-decker bridge till Tyrna you will certainly be pushing yourself! And that's what pushes you to learn about yourself too!
