Useful Tips:
1. Wear comfortable shoes with good traction, as the trail terrain is uneven, with occasional bumps and dips. Moreover, it can be muddy, especially during the rainy months, so I’d recommend wearing waterproof shoes. https://crrnt.app/VESSI/8_P_18RZ

2. Best time to visit the waterfall is between March to October as the waterfall dries up after the summer months.

3. There are no entry or parking fees.

3. Be mindful of the warning signs and walk on the designated trail because you might end up falling into a mining pit full of toxic materials.
