Triple Falls
Triple Falls is perhaps the most famous natural attraction in Dimapur, located in the scenic Seithekima village. As the name suggests, it is a magnificent waterfall where three distinct streams of water cascade down from a height of approximately 280 feet. The water falls into a large, clear natura l pool at the base, which is a popular spot for a refreshing dip. The falls are surrounded by dense tropical forests, creating a cool and misty microclimate even during the summers. The sound of the rushing water can be heard from a distance, building anticipation as you trek toward the site. Historically, the area has been a favorite retreat for the locals and now attracts tourists from all over the country. The trek to the falls is an adventure in itself, passing through lush vegetation and rocky paths. It offers a perfect blend of thrill and tranquility. The biodiversity around the falls is rich, with various species of birds and butterflies often spotted by keen observers. During the monsoon season, the volume of water increases significantly, making the sight even more breathtaking. The Department of Tourism has worked on making the path more accessible, though it still retains its rugged charm. It is an ideal spot for nature lovers, trekkers, and those looking for a picturesque picnic location. The falls represent the pristine beauty of Nagaland's wilderness.
