Beadon and Bishop falls are the name of two waterfalls located on the outskirts of shillong at Mawlai Nongkwar BL 3. These two water falls flows from different sources and meet at this place. Its an awesome sight with a breathtaking scenery. However, the locals call it.'sonapani'. 'sona' which means Gold in Hindi and 'pani' means water. But these waterfalls has no sorts of connection with Gold. Its called Sona because a lady named Sona jumped or suicide from this place... So this is how the name Sona-pani got stuck.

Got a nice view, specially the clouds. But you'll will not be able to view the falls properly but you should visit it once.

You can see in amidst a city a waterfall, quiet place to hang round if you want lonely space, not much of a view.

Good place. One has to Travel in the guwahati highway and take a deviation from the petrol bunk. When we asked a cab driver to drop us there he warned us that we may face some trouble by the local boys and asked to avoid that place. Still we (group of 3, including female friend) visited this is place on our own and found a very good view of the falls. Later a group of wicked boys of age group 12-15 arrived there, and started staring at us weirdly, puffing cigarettes (could be weed as well) simultaneously. Later we remembered the warning given by the cab driver and took extra caution about are belongings. Without giving any chance for a conversation we left that place.
Visit this place in normal day time with the sufficiently big group and take extra care about your valuables.

I went by a rental scooty and the route was not really accessible. We had to do some trial and error in order to reach the spot. View is good.
