- On this day, Joern decided to return to Shillong as he was tired from walking the last 3 days. I wasn't feeling much tired and was tempted to go back to Nohkalikai Falls which wasn't the best decision. I made it to the tip of the falls and tried to fly my drone which got dragged away by the wind and crashed around the fall.

Its so funny Lloyd... Ur askin for a ride like u own that car!! Haha
Also d dialogue sounded like
"Oh shyit.. I broke my water💦" 😛 hehe..
Fun watching d vlog but d trek looks scary as hell bro!!
Very brave and scintillating. Hats off to you man. I also trekked to the double decker and natural swimming pool. See it if you can. 👍👍👍
Well i did this trek with my friends this january. It was breathtaking.
We didn't have it in our plan. Our tour of Meghalaya was almost over and we had a free day in hand. Anthony bhaiya(the guy who drove us to various tourist spots while our stay in Shillong) said, "kal apko ek mast jagah le jayenge. Surprise hai." And what a surprise it was!
The trek down to the river bed is itself challenging(at least for noobs like us!).
We went up the river bed, climbed a few small waterfalls, clicked photos and stuff. It was amazing. And returned to the place where we started. The clock read 4pm and the place got less and less crowded. I thought it was the time to return. Little did i know of the upcoming adventure.
Anthony bhaiya shouted,"chalo abhi fall's ke tip tak jayenge" and it started. And what a thrilling trek it was. As shown in the video, the arrow marks are not always right, sometimes leading you to a dead end- so we had to make our own way. After a while the trek got difficult and we had to leave 2 of our friends behind as it was getting hard. Rest of us continued and i must confess there were moments where my feet were trembling out of fear- on a way with slippery rocks, steps made of thin twigs, narrow ledges to walk where you are inches away from falling down into the river bed. Surely we were too high on adrenaline to stop there. Finally we reached the tip. What a feeling it was! I can't describe it in words. The view was amazing. We could see written on the rocks 'NOHKALIKAI 1115 ft'. We had barely been to the tip for half an hour as it started getting darker.
We could hear our 2 friends who stayed back shouting at the top of their voice to return.
And now begins the second innings of thrill- the same trek but it's getting darker! And as we reach the point on the river bed from where we started it was pitch black. And there was no single soul around us. The task now in our hand was to climb our way to the top, the same trek that took us half an hour in daylight. It was literally frightening- we were exhausted, drenched in sweat with our feet trembling. We split in three groups, i was with Anthony bhaiya. Wetook our cellphones in one hand to use as flash lights, it made it even more dificult to find balance. I lost my footing 3-4 times on the way. Even there is no straight route, one time we took a wrong diversion and met a dead end. So we had to go in reverse and start again. Every 5 mins we would shout out to see if everyone is ok. I was gasping for breath (since i am asthmatic) and halted a few times in between. But eventually we reached the top . Honestly the feeling was no less than the feeling of reaching the tip of the falls.
Will never forget this trek in my entire life. It still gives me goosebumps everytime i picture it in my mind.
If you ever visit Meghalaya don't miss out on trekking Nohkalikai falls.
Ps. At 6:16 you can see a large enough hole on his left. You know you can actually go through it(if you are not very healthy!) instead of jumping pver the rock and so we did.
Just read this comment now. I must say this has to be the longest comment I've received but its such a nice experience to hear & I could visualize Anthony bhaiya, you & rest of the guys doing this trek. It gets quite scary as it gets dark specially over there when it gets dark sooner than it does at rest of the places in India. Thank you for sharing your experience :)
OMG....I can feel the thrill though your words...💚🤩
That would have been really painful going back without drone. But adventure 👌👌👌
The trek looks crazy crazy insane man!
The way to the tip of the waterfall is hella difficult & dangerous, hats off to u & everyone that made there. So nice of the local boys help u finding ur drone.
It's not really difficult if you're doing it with someone. It might look difficult as I was alone around that time
Love From Guwahati.... We visit every year in Cherrapunji but never explore like u did... Thnks for the video man
Treking in Meghalaya is tuff. If you have any experiences
when the place is very lonely you really need to trek freindly ...next time mo... no need to worry abt your drone cuz u'll have the chance to buy new one, be careful for ur self.
Dare it ... Earn it ... You earned my respect bro 👍
thanks Suraj
Too risky..I hope your Mom is not watching
This video is very interesting and take care.Sri Lanka
People,Culture, Nature, makes India unique!
Absolutely
Watching this in 2020 , I really enjoyed the video, stay safe brother and stay at home
Thanks buddy
This is amazing. Like how you just go pushing the boundaries while nothing stops you. Walking for 25 kms and then another 7 kms and then this trek! YOU REALLY LOVE EXPLORING and it appears on your face. Keep doing what you're doing and I don't see anything stopping you.
It was a thriller! Inspiring! Take care man!
It is dangerous to go during summer or rainy seasons and be careful. Sorry for your lost and God Bless you.
Lol, Now that I've seen this trek route. I too will risk trekking the same path :P If anything goes wrong, I'm blaming u xD
hahahah... In that case, you must never watch man vs wild
@@WanderingLloyd Lol, I actually visited Cherapunjee & Tyrna village in June 2019. But didn't find the courage to do your trek :P
@@gunner4ever924 Oh No! I was hoping you'll do the trek and tell me if you found my drone :P
Ok...i love this video its so thrill and adventurous....even though it lil scary too..
Hay! this Dec'19 I was on the same point, and have lost my 2 months old GOPRO-H7 (Black) along with almost 32 GB footage..... I think everyone should be careful enough to visit this place
damn! I hope my drone accompanies your GoPro & gives it a company. Else it can get too lonely there.
@@WanderingLloyd Ha Ha Ha...
I am trying to create a video on my experience there in Meghalaya... I'll update you once done....:)
Waw you so brave bro
Wonderful................Thanks for sharing
Don't go alone.
surely going there..
That is a very exciting root)) it looks dangerous))
Feel sorry you lost your drone. Hats off to your effort
Thanks Siva :)
Feel sorry for your drone bro. Locals are so helpful there. Can we pitch our tent there at the tip or nearby there itself ?
Locals are really amazing. I don't think you can & its dangerous to camp there any way.
awesome video man. keep exploring and making such videos. but please be careful. sad you lost your drone. that video must have been another treat.
Thank you Sambhav :)
Its weird coz I live in shillong and never been wer u are
You must definitely visit. Its such an amazing place.
Man you nailed it. you are going all alone to these places. you are such an hard working person man..keep up with your work. And your videos are inspiring!
Thank you so much :)
great man.. thanks for exploring my village..anyone interested visit here in winter season..
Hi, I have heard that during winter, all the falls are dry. Is it true? I am going there in Mid November this year.
I too am gonna visit there in mid November
@@jo-vlogs4795 November would be a good time to visit
@@amitbarnwal69 November would be a good time to visit
I am interested :)
You are insane dude!Kudos🙏❤️
You're just awesome bro!
Most appreciated to the efforts you made to the tip of the falls. Good job
Thank you Kevin
hey. I hope you see this msg rn. I want to trek up to the top, solo. being a woman, do you think it's a risk based on your experience. I know it's pretty safe and stuff but i want to be doubly sure.
No problem, its totally safe
Trek alone is big problem atleast your are professional this place is Himalayan Terange
Hey Deepika. I'm quite late with catching up on comments. I hope you've covered this trip by now. Let me know how it was if you did :) Sorry for the delay in replying though
Hats off sir... ur really brave..
Feeling very sad for your drone brother. I'm going today there. Wish me luck.
Bro... Can u tell me the way to reach there
Sorry saw this late so couldn't wish you luck in time. Hope you enjoyed the place. Did you find my drone there?
U so brave man
Awesome 👍🏿
Dude you are so crazy and brave you shouldn't go alone. It dangerous
I know. But its a known place. It's just that there was no body the day I decided to trek there
Amazing...
Can the first timers trek here? How long the trek will take?
Downhill is 20 to 40 mins depending on your speed. Up hill will be twice the time you took to go downhill
Bro I also want to go on this trek. How long was the trek (I mean long did it take u to reach the point from the ticket counter). Bro pls tell me btw luv Ur videos 😁
I don't remember but it can get quite long & tiring if you've not trekked in a long time
@@WanderingLloyd thank you bro
I can take you there...
Great video!
This is the true offbeat wandering....I loved it
Can we go there in August?
Don't think you can visit in the monsoon due to excessive rains specially when this particular part receives maximum rainfall
Man U r crazy!!
Y r u going alone to these places!!
What if something went wrong there and those guys were not there!!!!
Stop discouraging! I'm sure he's traveled and trekked enough to go alone out there. No offense but you talk like a mother :)
Priyanka Shah 😬
I was not discouraging!
i think you are correct . i guess you already did this by solo drive. We too scared alot at unknown place . Solo is not good idea such place.
And too shooting inside falls tip is very bad idea. so many people got washed away by instant fall
Love this video.
Sir,which shoes you wore during the trek?
quechua
So amazing to sée you discovering thé North east! And also, such an honest and well done video! And man, that trek surely seemed exhausting! Sending good vibes ❤
