Difficulties of the hike
This easy hike features a steady climb with an elevation gain of about 250 meters. An excellent stone path, the result of the work of Nepalese Sherpas, makes the ascent easier.
A guardrail secures the passage behind the waterfall. However, caution is advised, as the ground is constantly wet and slippery. Although the route is not marked, directional signs are posted along the way.
