When you visit this place, you can just feel the fresh air goes through your lungs. Far from the traffic, cold water flows through your feet feels really really good. The greenery of the place really makes you feel right in the nature, especially when you visit in the weekday where there are rarely visitors there (i visited in on Monday). Sadly i didn't have a chance to walk myself to the waterfall, but I'll just make it on my next visit sometimes soon. 😌

A nice place to explore nature, the distance to the location is near, however the road is a bit steep and slippery. The ruver is clean, i do recommend for you to visit on weekdays as it would be less crowded.

Nice place for swimming
