Why November here
A 340-metre single drop off the Sohra cliff into a turquoise pool, wrapped in its own tragic legend.
Nohkalikai is the big one: a single unbroken plunge of about 340 metres, the tallest of its kind in India, pouring off the Sohra escarpment into a green-blue pool. The overlook tells the tragic Khasi legend of Ka Likai that names it.
What to do
The overlook
The full drop in one frame, best late morning.
