Location
The fall is situated some 60 km southwest of Shillong in East Khasi Hills district[3] and is in close proximity to another major waterfall, Dainthlen Falls. The name Wei Sawdong derives from the Khasi language (wei - resembling a pool, sawdong - square-shaped), spoken locally.
Wei Sawdong is difficult to access, and the trek to the waterfall is along an out-and-back trail and challenging.[4] The falls are especially known for their bluish-green, crystal-clear water.[5]
