History

The original Khasi name for the falls is Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew, which translates to "the three - step waterfall". This name is still used locally. However the modern name is explained by a signboard near the waterfall. The name originated in the British era when the Englishmen spotted a giant rock that looked like an elephant near the fall. This rock was destroyed in the 1987 due to an earthquake.
