Panimur is a scenic destination in the Dima Hasao district of Assam, India.[1] It is most famous for the Panimur Waterfall, also known as Niagara of Northeast,[2] which forms from the Kopili River as it flows over rocky terrain, creating a wide, cascading waterfall that is a major attraction for tourists and photographers.[3]
Located about 120 kilometres (75 mi) from Haflong, the district headquarters of Dima Hasao, Panimur features a hilly landscape as part of the Barail range.[4] This area has a unique climate and is rich in diverse flora and fauna. The Panimur Waterfall is formed as the Kopili River flows over rocky formations, creating a milky white cascade, especially during autumn when the water flow is at its peak.[5]
