Why January here
Sohra’s photogenic tiered fall: bamboo-and-timber stairs down to turquoise pools stacked in the jungle.
Wei Sawdong is the most photographed of the Sohra falls: three stacked tiers of turquoise water reached down a bamboo-and-timber staircase built into the gorge wall. The last ladder drops you at the lowest pool.
