Also referred to as Jung/Jang Falls or Bong Bong Falls, Nuranang Falls cascades from a height of 100 meters. It originates from the northern slopes of the renowned Sela Pass. The Nuranang River forms the waterfall, which then flows into the Tawang River. Situated merely 2 kilometers from Jang along the road connecting Tawang and Bomdila, it is often called Jang Waterfalls.
The legend surrounding the waterfall's name involves a local Monpa girl named Nura, who aided Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, a Maha Vir Chakra awardee soldier during the 1962 Sino-Indian War but was subsequently captured by Chinese forces. Besides being a spectacular attraction in Arunachal Pradesh, Nuranang Falls also serves as a source of electricity for local consumption, with a small hydel plant located near its base for power generation.
These waterfalls gained prominence when they featured in the filming of the song "Tanhai Tanhai" starring Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit for the Bollywood film "Koyla" in 1997.
