Tappiya Falls
A roughly 70-metre waterfall in the valley behind Batad village, reachable on foot through the rice terraces. The cool pool is good for a swim.
Tappiya Falls lies in the valley below Batad village. With a drop of about 70 metres, the water plunges into a wide, deep pool surrounded by steep cliffs. From Batad, follow the terrace paths and steep stone steps down for about 45 minutes to an hour. The climb back up involves a lot of stairs and is physically demanding. You can swim in the pool during the dry season, but the water is very cold. Do not enter the water in the rainy season, when the current runs strong. Most visitors spend a night in Batad and set off the next morning. It is best to hire a local guide.
