The view is from afar. The falls are excellent, the mountain drops are worth photographing, but we had gone in summer, so the the volume was less. But worth a visit.

Such majestic falls! and the story behind the name of the falls is very sad. A lady who lost her daughter to a treacherous second husband jumped off these falls in agony. Thus the falls Nohkalikai i.e. leap of Kalikai. It had rained heavily when we visited so we enjoyed watching the falls in all its grandeur ! Close your eyes and just listen to the falls...
And yes dont miss walking around the place lots of shacks with souvenirs. We bought stoles for all the nieces back home.

These falls are really quite spectacular and a real feast for the eye, when they are in full flow. Luckily it had rained for a few days before we saw them, so they were really quite full of cascading water. The full majesty of these very high falls is quite a sight to behold!

This was one of the highlights of our visit to cherrapunji and it was a great sight. Would have been better during monsoon but we were lucky it had rained. Must do.

The height of these waterfalls and their beauty must not be missed.
When we went it was foggy but we got to see it again on our return from cherrapunji holiday resort from a different side so worth it.
How can 1 rate nature. It's just something u must not skip.
Before entering and paying 50per head , 1 per should go and check for visibility of falls. We wanted 200 stupidly at the main point .

The best waterfall I have seen in India. It was so scenic and we visited around sunset and the whole surrounding was lit in bright orange. It was a sight to behold. Must do.

The fall of water is the highest in all waterfalls in Meghalaya.
Quantity of water is less but the pool is blue in colour .
We enjoyed watching this fall at different levels with soothing sound.
It may be more beautiful and powerful in rainy season, which is not possible to visit during that season.
We could see lots of clouds in the valley and by the time it covered the whole valley and raised up .we couldn’t see through that thick clouds so started our journey back .Great experience!

One the highest falls in the entire region and maybe India. The view of the falls is mesmerizing. When we visited it was foggy and the view was not clear. However as the time passed the fog cleared and we got clear view of the place including the water body beneath the falls. An experience worth remembering. There are multiple view points for the fall and its good to see the falls from all the view points to get the best click.

These falls were part of our itinerary while traveling to meghalaya. We went in March 2020 so there wasn't any rain but still gorgeous, I could have stared and admired it for hours. Its mesmerizing, the blue pool below the falls is like a blue lagoon. Its the tallest in india, and totally breathtaking. Make sure if you see just one fall in meghalaya as there are many , this is by far the best

How to reach the mouth of Nohkalikai falls from Shillong ? Does it have to be covered via Nongriat trek where the rainbow falls is ?

We did not attempt to go to the mouth of the fall. Viewed it from the other side of the fall where most visitors go.

Well, water will be there but not very much at that time. There are some other waterfalls nearby viz. Seven Sisters Falls, Elephanta Falls etc. As rainfall in Cherrapunjee has been drastically down except during rainy season....chance of huge water volume is very less in mid April.

Will we be able to go near the pool? How can we reach there? Is there a stay near by the plunge?

I found a stair towards down. I thought it will take me to the bottom. But the stair is finished after around 100 steps, which might be less than 20% of total height! And you will get the same view as like from top. So there is no meaning to go down these 100 steps!

Hi Guys ..could you let me know the approach to this place.I am planning to travel with my parents who are 60+ ,is there proper road approach for vehicles or walking is a must? Thanks

Yes, it's very much near to Sohra or Cherapunji. One can take Sumo on shared basis or your own vehicle, which can go straight to the point and anyone can just step up at pavement and see the fall.

I want to do noh-kalinai waterfalls trek. I want to go there directly from Guwahati and want to return on the same day. Is that possible? Pls suggest with approximate cost of the cab.

You may have ample time to do other activities as well. It takes 4 hrs to reach from Guwahati, all very scenic and beautiful. Cost of the cab depends on your planning.

Has anyone visited here at sunrise? Timing is from 9:00, but is there any way to visit in early morning?

Well, when there is a time assigned, they may not allow anyone to come in before that, that is officially. From its location, I can tell you that it is perched inbetween the mountains and hence, may not offer an alternative route to reach either. Your best bet may be to connect with a local like a local guide or the hotel desk where you plan to stay and check if there are other spots, on the other side of the mountain - which can offer a great view of the sunset.
