Nuranang Waterfall at Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh

Today I visited Nuranag Waterfall which is one of the beautiful tourist places at Tawang, Arunchal Pradesh.
This water fall is about 350ft and it looks so attractive when the water falls to the river from the hill top.
This place is approx 40km from Tawang town and 2km from Jang town.
Everyone who wish to visit Tawang should come here and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Some details about Nuranang Waterfall

Nuranang Falls (also known as Bong Bong Falls), some 100 metres high, is located in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in this part of the country, yet is unknown to many travelers. It lies some 2 kilometres away from the town of Jang on the road connecting Tawang and Bomdila, so it is also known as the Jang Falls. There is a small hydel plant located near the base that generates electricity for local use.

The Nuranang river originates from the Northern slopes of the Sela Pass. Just below the waterfall it falls into the Tawang river.

According to a popular myth, Nuranang river and Nuranang falls are named after a local Monpa girl named Nura who had helped a soldier, Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, Maha Vir Chakra in the 1962 Sino-Indian War and was later captured by the Chinese forces. The actual circumstances of Jaswant's heroism are more prosaic and no woman finds a place there. It is possible that the name Nuranang was bestowed well before 1962.
