The Nuance

Well, despite the tiredness and difficulty, the trip features beautiful scenery including local farms and refreshing air of nearby villages.
For those coming with a tour guide, they may learn some history regarding Putri Waterfall. It is said there were two waterfalls there. Due to the decrease in water discharge, one of them had vanished naturally. So, what makes Putri Waterfall special? It is the strong water discharge.
