How to get there?

It is accessible by motorbike and takes approximately one hour from the waterfall. The road condition at the time only lets us use motorbikes, bicycles, or on foot. Hopefully, through the development, we’ll be able to get there easier in the near future.



Is ticket required?

Yes, 

If you ask a local to drive you there, they might cost $15. 



What to do and see?

After you learn something about this ancient site attraction, your hard work won’t regret, take some photos with those amazing ancient sculptures. You can relax and eat fruits picked from around that area by the locals. I went there with my fellow guide trainees, we were working on some research for our tour guide study. From my personal experience, I’m in love with this attraction even though getting there was a bit of a struggle. Thanks for reading.
