Krang Shuri


Krang Shuri is derived from two Khasi words joined together that is Krang and Shuri, the word Krang means that it resembles a cave whose form is similar to the roof of a house, Shuri resembles a two-edged sword which is often used in ancient times during the war. It is from these two words that brought up the name KRANG SHURI because these two words hold a true story behind them.

Location: Jaintia Hills District

Krang Suri is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the District. It is located in the Amlarem Civil Sub Division. To transform the place into a tourists destination the District Administration has initiated steps to construct Chiseled and graveled footpaths and viewpoints to enable visitors to better appreciate the beauty of the waterfall and its surroundings. The footpaths are hewn from the natural multi-colored stones available in the area, no cement has been used and stones have been placed symmetri­cally to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area.
