Haratai Waterfall
Air Terjun Haratai
A multi-tiered waterfall and natural pools in the Meratus Mountains, reached on foot or by motorbike via suspension bridges from Loksado, where swimming is allowed.
Haratai Waterfall lies near Haratai village, northeast of Loksado, and is one of the best-known waterfalls in South Kalimantan. The stream drops down rock walls in several tiers and ends in clear swimming pools surrounded by rainforest. From Loksado, the walk takes about two to three hours, passing Dayak villages, rubber plantations and bamboo groves and crossing several swaying suspension bridges. You can also hire an ojek (motorbike taxi) to a point nearby and walk the rest. There is a ticket booth at the entrance charging a small fee, and it is busier with local visitors at weekends. In the rainy season the trail is muddy and slippery and leeches are common, so wear non-slip shoes and bring insect repellent. A local guide is recommended for the walk.
