Vantawng Falls drops as an incredible triple header 751 feet into the rocky gorge below. Also known as Vantawng Khawhthla in the Mizo language which literally translates to “waterfall that touches the heavens”, it is located 5 kilometers south of Thenzawl in Serchhip district of Mizoram. It is about 30 kilometers from Serchhip and 137 kilometers from Aizawl and is the 13th highest waterfalls in India. Vantawng is surrounded by a lush green tropical forest filled with lush bamboo groves.
Spectacular of all the waterfalls it cascades in the fast flowing rivers of Mizoram. It is located in River Vanva near Thenzawl and is named after Vantawnga who was said to be an excellent swimmer. So good a swimmer was Vantawnga that he could hover in the cascading water like a fish, but unfortunately during one of such performances, a drifting log fell from above and killed him.
Though it is difficult to get close to it because of the sheer forested hillsides surrounding it, a comfortable viewing tower however, has been constructed by the Tourism Department.
It's one of the few waterfalls in the world that houses a cave behind it. People with amateur trekking knowledge can attempt to enter the cave but must be careful about the growth of moss. There is a tree inside the cave which can be climbed up.
