A visit to the Nohkalikai fall – The story behind India’s tallest Plunge
Nohkalikai falls has a very interesting story. It was named after a lady called ‘Likai’ who committed suicide by jumping off the cliff; after she found out that she had eaten her own child. It is one of the tallest plunge waterfalls in India. This famous fall of the Khasi hills at Sohra has a very saddening and heartbroken story behind it.

All of the tourist places within Shillong are near; mostly these places are situated at the heart of the city itself.
