Useful tips
- •Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip, as pathways near the waterfalls can be rough and rocky.
- •Carry light woollens if travelling between November and February, as nights can get chilly.
- •Keep cash handy for local handicrafts, as small village stalls often have poor network connectivity for digital payments.
