How to reach Panimur waterfall?
Reaching Panimur waterfall will depend on where you are starting your journey. We will discuss different starting points from Guwahati, Shillong, Silchar, Dimapur, and Haflong. Please note that in all options, the public transportation option is out of the question as it is not a good option for tourists. The best option is to rent a bike or a car from your starting point and directly go to Panimur waterfall. Or, reach to the nearest railway station (New Haflong) and hire a taxi to reach there. Technically, there are nearer railway stations such as Lanka but not all trains stop there.
How to reach Panimur waterfall from Guwahati?
I will assume that most of you will be traveling from Guwahati and the best option is to rent a car or a bike from Guwahati and enjoy a ride to Panimur. The other option is to travel up to Haflong via train and ride up to Panimur.
If you rented a bike or a car, you have the freedom to roam here and there a little bit instead of on a fixed railway road. Plus, you won’t need to search for a car or bike in Haflong once you reach there. Even if some services may be there, the options will be narrow for you as compared to Guwahati.

I would say one day is fair enough for Panimur. This includes coming from all the places mentioned above and going back. You will need to start early in the morning preferably before 7 am. Start as early as possible as you will avoid a lot of traffic and chance to experience the pure and fresh air along the way before all vehicles start blowing.
You start at around 6 am and reach around 12 to 1 pm. This is the perfect time to enjoy the freshwater. Enjoy for 2-3 hours and ride back or you can stay for a night in a homestay and start early in the next morning.
