Nohkalikai Falls is one of the most beautiful and photogenic falls I had ever seen. At 335 meters it is the highest plunge waterfall in India and the 4th highest in the World. Just a 10 minutes drive from main town of Cherapunji, the fall is located at another blunt end of the plateau. The gorge here is green and trees grow like a mini rainforest. From the edge of the cliff the waterfall looked like a white rope in a sea of green forests.

The water plunges 335 meters downwards and has carved out a waterhole. Strangely, the waterhole is as blue as the sky in winter and green in summer. In winter the water recedes to just a minimal amount, but in summer the falls are lavish.

Climate

The summer between March to June is ideal to visit Meghalaya. Rains lash profusely between July to September. It’s very cold during the winter between October to February.

How to Reach

The nearest airport and Railway Station is at 128 kms from Shillong in Assam at Guwahati as Meghalaya does not have its own Airport or Railway Station. Through the roads, the NH-40 connects Guwahati with Shillong, NH-44 connects Shillong with Silchar in Assam, Agartala in Tripura and Aizawl in Mizoram. Cherrapunjee is well connected through the roads.
