Weinia Falls on the river Kynshi and quite near to the Thum falls is another scenic cascade. It is quite deep and water vapor rising up from the bottom of the falls, in sunlight, form the colors of the rainbow. Both the sides of the falls are surrounded with rocks of different shapes, sizes and colors. Massive step-like structures formed by natural agencies are also seen on one side of the falls.

Weinia Falls is very beautiful place in the inner Meghalaya Forest. After a bit of walk you may be able to see the mighty fall from a platform made for this. The valley carved out from the fall is very deep and you need to be cautious while navigating the rocks. Access road is very bad and you won't get any amenities there hence be prepared to bring all your food and water supply with you. It's worth going because of the wilderness and peace.

The best part about this waterfall is that its volume is always big even in winter season. Coming here during monsoon season will be thrilling as the river and thus the waterfall will be at their maximum capacity. Be very careful if you go near the river as it is very deep and current is always strong. Just before reaching the viewpoint of the waterfall there is a bridge where one can cross to the famous Nongkhnum river island which is one of the biggest river islands in Asia. There is a small park, which has become a good picnic spot, near the waterfall. Camping and trekking can be done in and around the areas of this waterfall. Locals thronged this place for Christmas and New Year picnic parties during December and January. This waterfall is about 15 kilometers from Nongstoin town, the headquarter of West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya.
