About Dainthlen Falls

According to local legends, the waterfall is called Thlen Falls because of a snake called Thlen. Villagers killed the snake to keep everyone safe. They captured the Thlen and killed it on the wide flat rock overlooking the waterfall. The rocks still have scars from the battle and natural rock carvings describe the episode from the same. 

Besides the story, the waterfall is stunning, especially in the rain. Nearby, you can explore Mawsmai Cave, Nohkalikai Falls, Double Decker Living Root Bridge, and more.
