A famous water fall on the way to BomdiLa/Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.
Possible crash site of CM Dorjee Khandu Helicopter on 30th April 2011.Nuranang Falls (also known as Bong Bong Falls), some 100 metres high, is located in the Tawang district of Arunatachal Pradesh, India. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in this part of the country yet unknown to many travelers. It lies some 2 kilometres away from the town of Jang on the road connecting Tawang and Bomdila, so it is also known as the Jang Falls. There is a small hydel plant located near the base that generates electricity for local use.

The Nuranang river originates from the Northern slopes of the Sela Pass. Just below the waterfall it falls into the Tawang river.

According to a popular myth, Nuranang river and Nuranang falls are named after a local Monpa girl named Nura who had helped a soldier, Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, Maha Vir Chakra(posthumous) in the 1962 Sino-Indian War and was later captured by the Chinese forces. The actual circumstances of Jaswant's heroism are more prosaic and no woman finds a place there. It is possible that the name Nuranang was bestowed well before 1962.
