This is another tall waterfall that runs amok during monsoon season, exceeding even Kaieteur Falls in Guyana in terms of height and volume. We've seen the falls reported to be up to 960 feet tall, however, the figure we show above is known to be more accurate because that height was derived by dropping a weighted line into the gorge. The photo in the second link below shows the falls in full flood. The four segments of the falls are named, from left to right, the Raja, the Roarer, the Rocket, and the Rani (White Lady). Thanks to Pradeep Kodavoor for the pictures. |
