Nohsngithiang Falls (Seven Sisters Falls)

Nohsngithiang

Seven waterfalls side by side down a limestone cliff with a total drop of about 315 meters, glowing gold when lit by the setting sun.

Nohsngithiang Falls, also known as the Seven Sisters Falls, lies near Mawsmai village. Seven streams fall side by side down a limestone cliff about 315 meters high. The falls are most spectacular in the rainy season and carry less water in the dry season. The viewpoint is by the road near Mawsmai Park, and from here you can also see the Bangladesh plains. At sunset, the falls are lit gold, which gives them their name 'Nohsngithiang' (meaning 'where the sun shines'). It is in the same area as Mawsmai Cave, so the two can be visited together.
