Waterfall Travel Guide

     It is widely known that the peak time for relaxing around waterfalls is during the rainy season, so anyone who plans to visit a waterfall should be careful about the water level and forest water. If there is heavy rainfall in that area or in the forest upstream for a long time, the water changes from clear to cloudy, which means that a flash flood is heading your way. So get out of the water and go to a safer area, higher up the bank. Travelers must consider their safety to prevent the occurrence of unexpected dangers.

Preparation

  • Stay informed about the waterfall travel period;
  • Prepare spare clothes and appropriate shoes; 
  • Be careful about moisture and possible bumps to phones and cameras.

Precautions 

  1. Alcohol should not be consumed because intoxication increases the risk of drowning or falling from the edge of a waterfall, and shattered glass bottles are also harmful to others and nature;
  2. Respect others who want to be in touch with nature;
  3. Do not dispose of garbage anywhere except the containers provided. If possible, help collect waste from the site to make the natural source beautiful forever;
  4. Eat in the area designated by the national park, but not in the waterfall area;
  5. Strictly adhere to the posted warnings, such as "Do not play in this area," as it may cause harm to the pool or stream;
  6. Do not climb rocks or jump from the waterfall layer, as dangerous rocks or deep holes could be hidden beneath the surface;
  7. In case of heavy rain, the water in the stream may turn cloudy when a flood is on the way, so get out of the water immediately;
  8. In winter, the water is much colder than people expect, so it is not recommended to play in the water, as it may cause cramps;
  9. A person who cannot swim is supposed to wear a life jacket;
  10. In emergency cases, call the hotline at 1362 and 1669.
