Update: There was a fire early November 2025 at the main platforms. The track is closed until further notice

🌟 Reopened on 13th Sept 2024 – Totally Worth the Hype! 🌟

🚶‍♀️ Tips for Visiting:

🚗 Entrance: Only the Scenic Drive entrance is open.

🅿️ Parking: The lot is small! Consider parking at the nearby Tawari Road Entrance and walking to the falls.

Don’t Miss: After reaching the main waterfall, make sure to visit the waterfall below – it’s just as spectacular!

🪜 Stairs: Get ready for approx. 800 stairs! But don’t worry – the new boardwalk is AMAZING and makes the journey so enjoyable.

⏱️ Duration: Allow 1.5-2 hours for the round trip. It’s a return track (same way in and out).
