Saika Waterfall
General Overview: Saika Waterfall, often locally referred to as Tuisoi Waterfall, is a breathtaking natural marvel tucked away in the dense Longtarai Reserve Forest. This cascade is a true sanctuary for those seeking solace away from the mechanical life of the city. The water plunges from a signific ant height, creating a misty atmosphere that cools the surrounding air even during the peak of summer. The journey to the falls involves a scenic drive through winding hill roads followed by a short forest trek that heightens the sense of adventure. It is surrounded by lush green tropical vegetation and rare orchids that bloom seasonally. The sound of the falling water combined with the chirping of forest birds creates a natural symphony that is both relaxing and rejuvenating. Recently, the tourism department has recognized its potential, leading to better trail marking for visitors. It remains one of the cleanest and most preserved natural sites in the Dhalai district.
