Cherrapunji
Standing at 340 metres, Nohkalikai is the tallest plunge waterfall in India and one of the most dramatic in all of Asia. It drops sheer off a cliff edge into a turquoise-green pool far below, surrounded by layered limestone cliffs and misty forested gorges. The viewpoint is easily accessible and the sight of that wall of water disappearing into the valley below is nothing short of breathtaking.
Visit in the early morning before clouds roll in — by noon the gorge often fills with mist and the falls disappear behind it. The monsoon season (June–September) brings peak flow but access can be tricky.
