The only way to go down is over the rocks

It is possible to climb to the top of the fall, but be careful, the rocks can be slippery. It is very serene,pristine and quiet on top. Not sure if there is any 2nd tier falls on top as there is no trek marking, the only way is to follow the stream.

Recently a visitor reported that as of January 2011 car/motorcycle access to the waterfall is cut-off due to a small bridge having been swept away by floods.
