About Nuranang Falls, Jang
The Nuranang river drops about 100 m in a single fall just below the Jang road, 40 km before Tawang. It is one of the biggest falls in the state and easy to reach: a short track leads down from the main road to a small hydel station at the base. Full in the rains and again with the snowmelt in spring; in deep winter parts of it freeze. Named, like Jaswant Garh, for the Monpa woman Nura.
What to see and do
- The 100 m single drop
- The short path to the base
- The small hydel plant below the fall
- Jang village and its monastery
- Jaswant Garh up the road
