The falls
Vantawng Khawhthla or Vantawng Falls is the highest and most spectacular of the waterfalls and cascades in the fast-flowing rivers of Mizoram. It is located in Vanva River 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 during one of such performances, a drifting log fell from above and killed him. The height of the fall is recorded as 750 ft. Though it is difficult to get close to it because of the sheer forested hillsides surrounding it, a viewing tower has been constructed.
