Kakochang Waterfalls , Jorhat Overview

Kakochang Waterfalls, near Numaligarh in Jorhat district, drops through a series of rock-cut tiers set into the tea-growing hills of Upper Assam, with the Numaligarh and Borholla estates visible from the approach path. The falls sit at a modest elevation above the surrounding plains, enough to keep the area noticeably cooler and mistier than the tea belt around it, particularly through the monsoon months when the flow is heaviest. A short walk from the nearest road leads to the base of the falls, making it an easy stop for travelers already touring Jorhat's tea estates or heading toward the Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary. It remains a lesser-known addition to the region's itinerary, drawing mostly local and regional visitors.

Visitors often spend around 2-3 hours at the waterfalls during post-monsoon months, from October to March when due to the heavy rainfall, there is enough water to fill up the waterfall, creating a great view for visitors. A great view of the tea gardens of Difanu, Hathkhuli, Behora Borchapori and Methoni is visible to those who pass by in order to reach the waterfalls and the way to this attraction is filled with rubber and coffee plantations. This attraction mainly encompasses clear water falling from the top of the hill which gathers in a natural pond below, creating a pleasant mist all around this area. All in all, the gushing water at Kakochang Waterfalls creates a mesmerising aura which makes it one of the best natural spots in Assam and is definitely worth a visit.
