Which is the highest waterfall in India?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which is the highest waterfall in India?” The correct answer is Kunchikal Falls. Kunchikal Falls (also written as Kunchikal Falls) on the Varahi River in Karnataka is the highest waterfall in India at 455 meters. However, there is some debate as Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya is 340 meters but is considered the tallest plunge waterfall. Kunchikal is a tiered waterfall while Nohkalikai is a plunge type. Option A (“Jog Falls”) is incorrect because it does not match the river basin, lake type, location, tributary relationship, project or hydrological feature specified in the question.
