The Triple Falls

The Triple Falls at Seithekema Village in Dimapur (celebrated across Northeast nature tourism as Nagaland's most spectacular natural three tiered waterfall cascade, sitting amidst the Barail foothills near Chumukedima, developed as an eco tourism destination by Nagaland Tourism, world famous for its three distinct roaring streams descending synchronously from a height of 280 feet down basalt cliffs into a crystal plunge pool, exhilarating 30 minute bamboo foot trail hike, natural rock viewing terraces, swimming lagoons, peaceful picnic clearings, and diverse jungle songbirds), located in Seithekema Village near Dimapur in Nagaland, stands as Dimapur's premier waterfall wonderland.

Fed by perennial hill springs flowing down from higher ridges of the Naga Hills, the mountain stream divides into three parallel plumes that plunge simultaneously over mossy granite rock faces.

It's the home of the natural stone plunge pool where cool mountain waters offer a deeply refreshing dip during warm summer afternoons, the mist shrouded rocky viewing platforms where photographers capture dramatic rainbow refractions in morning sunshine, the rustic bamboo footbridges crossing rushing forest brooks, the shaded picnic boulders under giant fig trees, and an intensely peaceful, deeply exhilarating waterfall atmosphere filled with the thunderous roar of rushing water and cool forest spray.

It represents a rich Nagaland eco adventure tourism apex, untouched riverine landscape, and weekend getaway haven where three tier waterfalls, plunge pool wading, forest foot trails, and Dimapur outdoor excursions unite in The Triple Falls.

Located in Seithekema Village near Chumukedima town, it sits 16 km southeast of Dimapur Railway Station (DMV) and Airport (DMU), 14 km from Kachari Ruins, 12 km from Diezephe Craft Village, and 18 km from Nagaland Zoological Park, easily reached in 30 minutes by taxi or private vehicle.

The Three Distinct Cascades & Crystal Plunge Pool

What makes Triple Falls extraordinary is the geological formation where the torrential hill stream splits into three equal ribbons plunging side by-side into a wide, shallow emerald basin.

The clear pool at the bottom is surrounded by smooth river boulders and white sandbanks, providing safe spots for visitors to dip their feet and enjoy natural hydro therapy.

Truth is, hearing the thunderous roar of three waterfalls crashing together while cool spray mist settles on your face will wipe away all travel fatigue.
