  1. In India's Karnataka state's Mandya District, there is a waterfall known as Shivanasamudra Falls. One of the first hydroelectric generating plants in Asia was built there in 1902 along the Kaveri River, which serves as its border with Mandya. The Kaveri River's Shivanasamudra Waterfall is situated there. The Deccan Plateau's rocks and ravines are traversed by the river as it runs, creating waterfalls. From July to October, visitors can visit this waterfall because this is when the flow of the waterfall is at its greatest and creates an incredibly spectacular scene.


    It's a frequent myth that the left segment of the Shivanasamudra waterfall is known as Gaganachukki while the right segment is known as Bharachukki. In actuality, Bharachukki and Gaganachukki waterfalls are a few kilometers apart. This is because the Kaveri River itself has split into western and eastern tributaries a few kilometers to the south. While the eastern branch produces the Bharachukki waterfall, the western branch produces the Gaganachukki double waterfall. The Shivanasamudra watchtower offers the best views of the Gaganachukki waterfall. The majority of the pictures of the twin waterfalls were taken from there. Gaganachukki Falls can be reached in another way from Darga Hazrath Mardane Gaib.

  8. Nuranang Falls (also known as Bong Bong Falls) is a 100-meter-high waterfall in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang district. It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in this section of the country, yet many visitors are unaware of it. It is located about 2 kilometers from Jang on the road connecting Tawang and Bomdila, hence it is also known as the Jang Falls. A modest hydroelectric plant near the base generates electricity for local purposes. The Nuranang river flows from the Sela Pass's northern slopes. It flows into the Tawang River just below the waterfall.


    A well-known urban legend holds that the Nuranang River and Nuranang Falls were named for a native Monpa girl named Nura who had aided Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, recipient of the Maha Vir Chakra (posthumous) during the Sino-Indian War of 1962, before being captured by the Chinese. Jaswant's heroic actions actually took place in less heroic conditions, and no woman would fit in there. The name Nuranang might have been given long before 1962. Tanhai Tanhai Tanhai, a song from the 1997 film Koyla starring Bollywood superstar Madhuri Dixit, and Sangetser Lake brought it to public attention. It was the first state-produced video to be featured in a Bollywood film.
