The track leading to the falls begins from the roadside and you wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it as its entrance is somewhat hidden among the trees. From the moment you step onto the track you're transported into another world. The track leads you through the lush green rainforest, following a tranquil stream and passing moss covered trees along the way until you reach an opening where this magical scene appears in front of you.
