Nohkalikai Falls

Meghalaya


At 340m, Nohkalikai is said to be the highest single-drop waterfall in India. It's at its best during the monsoon, when its capacity increases 20-fold. You can see it from above from the viewpoint 4.4km from Cherrapunjee's market. Local taxis shuttle passengers back and forth (₹150 each way).
