Tea fields, valleys, small villages and temples, a forest with stunning trees tell the stories and the impressive waterfall which pours into a deep pool. There is so much to see on this hike.
The pool is located in the middle of a forest. Although you can hear the water from afar, the forest opens surprisingly and reveals its paradisical well-hidden mystery.
Those who travel early will be rewarded. In the early morning hours, the sun shines on the pool. Rays of light dive into the pool and let it look even more magical. The pool invites you to swim and enjoy.
While you make yourself comfortable or you already crash into the cold water, we prepare coffee, tea and snacks for you. We take enough time to enjoy this unique place to the fullest before we start our way home again.
