A nearby camping ground provides access to the waterfall and offers accommodation options along with recreational facilities for visitors. Visiting during sunny conditions allows you to see the rainbow effects that are most visible when sunlight is strong.
The water flow remains constant throughout the year, ensuring that rainbow effects appear regularly. This steady water volume means each visit offers a reliable chance to see the colored patterns in the mist.
