The waterfall is approximately 30 meters in height, and is located in an open [[cove]]-like formation on the side of a hill. The waterfall is small in height and has a clear blue water stream. The water drops into a turquoise pond measuring approximately 80 by 120 feet.<ref name=":0" /> The cove is filled with waist-deep water with a sandy floor which is deeper on the edges.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Awais |first=Muhammad |date=12 July 2022 |title=Havens of Haripur: Noori Waterfall and the Springs of the Haro River |url=https://www.youlinmagazine.com/article/havens-of-haripur-noori-waterfall-and-the-springs-of-the-haro-river/MjI5OQ== |access-date=28 August 2023 |website=Youlin Magazine}}</ref>
The locals have also set up a parking for the tourists to encourage business. Life jackets are available for rent on spot by the locals. The waterfall is located 15 minutes hike from the parking spot. Only a single way road passes though the village which can create issue if traffic comes both ways.
 
== Etymology ==
Locally, the waterfall is known as ‘Noori de tahand’ (Noori’s pond). There are several accounts as to how it got its name. The elders of neighboring villages attribute it to a woman named Noor Bibi, who drowned in the plunge pool of the waterfall. Others say the waterfall received its name because of its milky appearance at night.<ref name=":0" /> However, some think a tribe named Noori, now extinct, is the basis for the waterfall's name.<ref name=":1" />
