Holy Water Falls - Chumi Gyatse
Chumi Gyatse, also known as the Holy Waterfalls, is a stunning collection of 108 waterfalls located in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India, just 250 meters from the India-China border along the Line of Actual Control in the Yangtse area. Revered by the Monpa tribe, these falls are believed to have been created by Guru Padmasambhava, the “Second Buddha,” who, according to legend, flung his 108-bead rosary against a rock, causing 108 springs to gush out. Another tale credits the falls to Guru Lawapa, who produced water to aid meditation. The water, considered “Amrit” (nectar), is believed to have healing properties, curing ailments and even aiding fertility for those who drink it with faith.
