WHEN AND HOW TO GO

Excursionist frequents the place all year round so the place is actually not that quiet and peaceful. But during the rainy season, there are days that you may have a chance to have the place on your own. Be prepared though that water level sometimes reaches to alarming proportions when the rain is really hard. In fact one time we camped there during the last week of December, the waterfalls more than doubled it’s actual size causing the basin to overflow; Its a very nice place for those people who loves to swim. But for those people who doesnt have the ability to swim. there are many shallow part that you can play and hang around.
