The waterfall near the village of Pria Laot
The access to the waterfall is off the main road about a 10 minute drive south of Gapang. If you're driving yourself, the access road is easy to spot, since it's right next to the stream, which the main road crosses. The access road ends at a small water processing plant, and from here you must walk about 500 meters to the falls.
The walkway starts out paved and meanders through small farms of coconut trees, cocoa, and many other herbs and vegetables before the terrain becomes more of a small ravine. Eventually the paved trail ends, although it appears they may be extending it. The path along the stream is generally easy to spot, although it requires you to cross the stream a few times before you reach the falls. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear.
The falls are about 25 meters high, with a large pool at the bottom. People do swim here, but the water doesn't look that inviting. If you look up into the tall trees surrounding the falls, you may spot a colony of bats at the tops. These seem to be a fixture here, so all you have to do is look.
