Nohkalikai Falls is one of the tallest plunge waterfalls in India, located near Cherrapunji in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. It plunges from a height of approximately 340 meters (1,115 feet), making it a stunning natural spectacle. The falls are fed by rainwater collected on the summit of a relatively small plateau and are surrounded by lush, verdant forests. The name "Nohkalikai" translates to "Jump of Ka Likai" in the local Khasi language, and it is linked to a poignant legend about a woman named Likai. The falls are especially impressive during the monsoon season, when the water flow is at its peak.
