15. Nohkalikai Falls, Meghalaya
Located near Cherrapunji, the wettest place on Earth, this hauntingly beautiful waterfall, cascading down from the top of the gorge to the mystic deep green pool below, reminds one of the tragic legend associated with it. A grief stricken mother plunged to her death, unable to overcome her sorrow over the murder of her daughter by her husband.
It is the tallest plunge waterfall in India at a height of 1115 feet (340 metres). Nohkalikai Falls are fed by the rainwater collected on the summit of a comparatively small plateau and decrease in power during the dry season in December-February. Below the falls is a plunge pool with unusual green colored water.
