The falls
Vantawng Khawhthla or Vantawng Falls is the highest and most spectacular of the waterfalls and cascades in the fast flowing rivers of Mizoram. It is located in Vanva river near Thenzawl and is named after Vantawnga, who was said to be an excellent swimmer.
The height of the fall is recorded as 324 feet (99 m). Though it is difficult to get close to it because of the sheer forested hillsides surrounding it, a viewing tower has been constructed.
