Elephant Falls was the British name of what the local Khasi people once referred to as Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew (or "Three Steps Waterfalls") since the falls actually consists of three sections in succession. The British renamed the falls because there used to be a rock resembling an elephant near the left side of the main falls. However, that rock was destroyed in an earthquake in 1897.

They took me to wonderful sites on Assam, were very nice, and really know the history and culture and could explain this to a foreigner like me. I recommend this company.
