About Nohkalikai Falls

Nohkalikai Falls is India's highest plunge waterfall at 1,115 meters, located in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. The waterfall cascades dramatically from a cliff edge surrounded by dense forests and mist-laden valleys, creating a breathtaking spectacle especially during the monsoon season. The name translates to 'jump of the khasi woman' in the local language, derived from a tragic local legend.

💡Why Visit?

This is one of Asia's most impressive single-drop waterfalls offering stunning views from the cliff-edge viewpoint and excellent photography opportunities. The ethereal mist, lush surroundings, and dramatic drop make it an unforgettable natural wonder.
