From the parking, an easy uphill walking leads you to the viewing platform. Admit the beauty of the falls from a distance. You won’t be able to walk to the waterfall’s base.

If you’re allowed to fly a drone near this waterfall, then you will be able to take best photos. Unfortunately, you can’t extend this walk any further.
