Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls

Waterfall beyond Nongriat on the Tyrna trek, known for mist rainbows and a long stone-step approach.

Rainbow Falls sits deeper on the Nongriat trek beyond the living root bridges, reached after thousands of stone steps from Tyrna. On sunny mornings after rain, mist around the cascade can throw brief rainbows, which is how the falls got their popular name. The swim pools and viewpoint reward the extra descent, but the return climb is steep. Start early from Tyrna, carry water, and wear shoes that grip wet rock.
