It is located in Vanva River near Thenzawl and is named after Vantawnga, who was said to be an excellent swimmer. So good a swimmer was Vantawnga that he could hover in the cascading water like a fish, but during one of such performances,[2] a drifting log fell from above and killed him. The height of the fall is recorded as 750 feet (230 m). Though it is difficult to get close to it because of the sheer forested hillsides surrounding it, a viewing tower has been constructed.[2] ## See also - [List of waterfalls](/source/List_of_waterfalls) - [List of waterfalls in India](/source/List_of_waterfalls_in_India) - [List of waterfalls in India by height](/source/List_of_waterfalls_in_India_by_height) - [Tourism in Mizoram](/source/Tourism_in_Mizoram) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Vantawng Falls"](http://www.india9.com/i9show/Vantawng-Falls-14604.htm). india9.
