Nuranang Waterfall, Arunachal Pradesh

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.
