Unlike waterfalls that descend in multiple tiers or segmented streams, Nohkalikai drops in a single dramatic plunge of exceptional height, the full force of its water meeting the pool below in a curtain of white that sends mist rising continuously from the gorge in visible columns of spray. The extraordinary blue-green colour of the plunge pool, a phenomenon produced by the unique mineral composition of the water and the depth of the basin carved by centuries of falling water, creates a visual contrast of remarkable natural beauty against the dark rock face of the surrounding gorge walls. The combination of legendary height, the vivid plunge pool, the dramatic plateau edge setting, and the deeply human story embedded in the falls name together create a destination of layered and genuinely memorable natural and cultural discovery.

The viewpoint above the falls offers a perspective of extraordinary geographical drama, with the plateau edge dropping away beneath and the full height of the cascade visible in a single unobstructed view that conveys the sheer scale of the descent with immediate and physical force. The luminous blue-green pool at the base, visible from the viewpoint above during clear conditions, provides a focal point of vivid natural colour that anchors the visual experience and draws the eye downward through the full height of the falling water. The surrounding plateau landscape of the Cherrapunji area, with its sacred forests, mist-draped ridgelines, and views across the Bangladesh plains, adds a broader scenic richness to the immediate spectacle of the falls.
