Beyond its well-known monasteries and valleys, Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang and West Kameng districts hold a string of waterfalls, many of them still off the typical tourist route.
Waterfalls to Visit
- Nuranang Waterfall (Jung Falls): A roughly 100-metre drop near Jang village, about 40 km from Tawang, with ties to the 1962 Indo-China war. Best visited March to October.
- Chumi Gyatse (Holy Waterfalls): A cluster of 108 falls near the Indo-Tibet border, considered sacred and believed to have been blessed by Guru Padmasambhava. Reached via Tawang; best in summer and autumn.
- Lumum Waterfall: A remote, little-visited fall near Lumum village, best seen during or just after the monsoon.
- Nichiphula Waterfall: Located in West Kameng district, reached via a forest trek; best after the monsoon when flow is at its peak.
- Mawu Aando Waterfalls: An unexplored fall in the Eastern Himalayan foothills, best visited during or after the monsoon.
