The Waterfall

The waterfall is about 7m high and the water is so cold. I visit twice last year for my small mammals sampling and i get quite a good results. We trapped about 46 individuals from 10 different species. The most abundant species was Tupaia picta (Painted Treeshrew). In the same year, another group was also carried out the herps inventory in this area. The findings was so interesting too. I think they described a new species of frogs but the journal is not yet published.

I was amazed by these beautiful and amazing waterfall.

This is another one which is shorter waterfall.

That is absolutely amazing! I really love waterfalls. I have never seen one up close like that, only pictures. I didn't know how big it was, until I saw you in the second photo. That must have been a wonderful experience. Wow!

waterfall is a sort of "living thing". It flows and falls dynamically. Is Good to appreciate its existence.

Ratty - It was really big and this place is not for commercial recreation. It is only open for research. They have a complete and conducive field station just next to this waterfall. Fascinating isn't it? :)
