The Best Waterfalls in North East India

Fed by some of the heaviest rainfall on Earth, the North East is home to India's most dramatic waterfalls.

Meghalaya's giants

Nohkalikai, India's tallest plunge waterfall, and the fan-like Seven Sisters Falls near Cherrapunji are the headline acts, thunderous in the monsoon.

Beyond Meghalaya

Nuranang Falls in Arunachal and various cascades across Sikkim and Nagaland add to the region's abundance of falling water.

  • Nohkalikai — India's tallest plunge fall
  • Seven Sisters Falls (Cherrapunji)
  • Nuranang Falls (Arunachal)
  • Fullest in the monsoon
