'''Nuranang Falls''' (also known as Bong Bong Falls), some 100 metres high, is located in the [[Tawang district|Tawang]] district of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in this part of the country, yet is 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 [[Hydroelectricity|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 people|Monpa]] girl named Nura who had helped a soldier, Rifleman [[Jaswant singh rawat|Jaswant Singh Rawat]], [[Maha Vir Chakra]] (posthumous) in the 1962 [[Sino indian war|Sino-Indian War]] and was later captured by the [[People's Liberation Army|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.

==Trivia==
It came to limelight when a song from the movie [[Koyla]] featuring [[Bollywood]] actress [[Madhuri Dixit]], ''Tanhai Tanhai Tanhai'' was shot here and at Sangetser Lake in 1997. It was the first shot from the state shown in a Bollywood movie.

And second was a song named "Mitha Mitha" from [[Hiya Diya Niya]] in 2000.
