Nohkalikai Falls is a spectacular sight to behold, as it plunges from a red-rock cliff into a clear turquoise pool surrounded by lush green forest. The pool changes colors with time and season, creating a mesmerizing contrast with the waterfall. Nohkalikai Falls also has a tragic legend behind its name, which adds to its mystery and allure. Nohkalikai means “The Jump of Likai” in Khasi language, and it refers to a local woman who jumped off the cliff after discovering that her new husband had killed and cooked her daughter.
