The story
Nuranang Falls, also called Jang Falls or Bong Bong Falls, is a 100 m waterfall about 2 km northeast of Jang town in Tawang district. A motorable road reaches it from the NH-13 Trans-Arunachal Highway between Tawang and Bomdila, north of the Sela Tunnel. The Nuranang River rises on the northern slopes of Sela Pass and meets the Tawang River soon after the drop.
The river and falls take their name from Nura, a Monpa girl who, according to local legend, helped Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat during the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Visitors picnic near the falls, walk nearby trails or go down to the base. The small Jang Hydal hydroelectric plant is close by.
