Your expert’s note

October to December is the sweet spot - the monsoon has filled the catchment but the cloud that swallows the gorge in July and August has cleared. Nohkalikai holds up better in the dry months than the other Sohra falls because of its catchment, but it is still visibly thinner from December through February.
