Wikipedia's Aritar article lists Kali Khola falls, about 100 m high, on the Rorathang to Rongli road. We have not verified the exact stopping place, so ask your driver where it is safe to pull over.
Flow is strongest in and after the monsoon, which is also the riskiest time for slides. Visit in settled weather only, and never stand under or near the base after heavy rain.
Keep to the road side and do not clamber on wet rocks. Take photographs from a safe distance and take your litter with you.

Questions travellers ask
Before you book
Where exactly are Kali Khola falls?
Wikipedia places them on the Rorathang to Rongli road. Ask your driver for the safe pull-off.
When is the best time to see them?
After rain, flow is strongest, but slides are also more likely. Early autumn is a good compromise. Check current status before you travel.
Is it safe to go close?
No. Stay at a distance and away from loose slopes.
