Highest Waterfalls in India
A waterfall is an area in a stream or river where
running water falls down from a high place (such as over the side of a cliff). It
is a place where water flows over the edge of a steep, high
cliff in hills or mountains, and falls into a pool below. Monsoon in
India really gives one of the best natural scenery, rivers are on
full swing, mountains are awake after a long sleep and monsoon
decorated the whole valleys with sparking waterfalls, magnificent
lakes, lush green trees and beautiful flowers. Most of the highest waterfalls
are found in the mountains area of North East India.
