Jung Waterfalls also known as Nuranang is on the route to Tawang.
It’s about 100 meters of pure, unadulterated awesomeness, originating from the northern slopes of the famous Sela Pass and plunging into the Tawang river.
It’s like Mother Nature’s own water slide, and let me tell you, the view from the bottom is pretty spectacular too.
There’s a local hydel power project just nearby that supplies electricity to the neighboring areas. So not only are you getting a great view, but you’re also helping out the community! It’s a win-win situation.
But how do one get to this beautiful waterfall?
Well, it’s only a 40 km and hour drive from Tawang, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can hike 200 staircases to get up close and personal with the falls. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good staircase workout?
There’s a local legend associated with the Nuranang falls, it said that it was named after a local Monpa girl named Nura who helped the Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, a Maha Vir Chakra awardee soldier during the 1962 Sino-Indian War but was later captured by Chinese forces. It’s a waterfall with a heartwarming story.
All in all, the Nuranang waterfalls, or Jang Falls, is a must-visit place for any traveler. It’s a beautiful, useful, and interesting attraction that you don’t want to miss out on. So pack your bags, grab your hiking shoes, and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!
