4. Nohkalikai Falls

water
Height - 335 metres (1,099 ft)

Nohkalikai Falls is the tallest waterfall in India. Its height is 1100 feet (335 metres). The waterfall is located near Cherrapunji, one of the wettest places on Earth. Nohkalikai Falls are fed by the rainwater collected on the summit of comparatively small plateau and decrease in power during the dry season in December - February. Below the falls there has formed a plunge pool with unusual green colored water.
In Khasi language, the name of the falls means "Jump of Ka Likai" which is linked to a legend about local women Likai who after family tragedy became insane and jumped off the cliff next to the falls.
