Kangthilangso Waterfall
The Hidden Oasis: Kangthilangso Waterfall is a stunning natural site located in the Dokmaka region of Karbi Anglong. It is nestled within a lush valley and is known for its multi-step cascading waters that flow into a clear natural pool. The waterfall is surrounded by dense tropical forests, providi ng a habitat for diverse flora and fauna. For the local Karbi people, this site is not just a tourist attraction but a sacred place rooted in their folklore and cultural identity. The atmosphere here is deeply peaceful, with the only sounds being the chirping of birds and the roar of the water. Visitors can experience authentic tribal hospitality in the nearby Toko Langso village. The trek to the falls involves a short walk through scenic rural landscapes and green hills. The water is believed by some locals to have medicinal properties due to the herbs it passes over. It is a favorite spot for eco-tourists who want to see the "untouched" side of Assam. The site has gained popularity for its breathtaking tiered structure, which is rare in the region.
