About 80 kilometres from the lovely town of Tawang, you'll find the Bap Teng Kang Waterfall. The Monpa tribe, who live in these highlands, consider the falls to be a source of life and spiritual rejuvenation, and they call it Nuranang Falls. It's over 100 feet tall and truly breathtaking. The water crashes down in a mesmerizing display of power and grace, sending up a shimmering veil of mist in the air.
The lush greenery around the falls creates a natural theatre where the sounds and sights are just amazing. According to legend, the waterfall is named after a mythical figure, Bap Teng Kang, who is believed to be the guardian spirit of the surrounding forests. It's said that his tears cascaded down the rocks to form this awe-inspiring spectacle.
One of the most captivating features of Bap Teng Kang is its multi-tiered structure. Here, each level offers a unique perspective of the cascading water. A shallow pool collects at the base, where you can take a dip in its mineral-rich waters. Keen birdwatchers can keep an eye out for the vibrant Himalayan Monal pheasant or listen for the melodic calls of unseen birds.
A short drive from the waterfall will take you to other wonders in Arunachal Pradesh like the Tawang Monastery and the Sela Pass. These nearby attractions ensure that your journey to Bap Teng Kang is an exploration of Arunachal Pradesh’s rich cultural and ecological heritage.
Bap Teng Kang Waterfall is not just a destination; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Arunachal Pradesh’s untouched beauty. Visit this unknown gem and spend a few moments basking in its beauty right in the cradle of the eastern Himalayas.
