Visitors can expect a jungle trail following a forest stream with 15 distinct tiers, of which the first 5-7 tiers are most accessible to general visitors. The setting is dense evergreen forest with bamboo, large trees, pools suitable for wading, rocky steps and stream crossings via wooden bridges. Higher tiers require scrambling over rocks and wading. The area offers forest scenery, bird and butterfly watching, and relatively undeveloped natural surroundings inside the national park.
