Paku Waterfall

Air Terjun Paku

A rainforest trail you can walk on your own from park headquarters. It ends at a small waterfall pool where you can swim, making it a good half-day outing.

The Paku Waterfall trail starts at park headquarters and follows a wooden boardwalk toward Deer Cave. It then branches off onto a rainforest path. The total distance is about 3 kilometers, or 1 to 1.5 hours one way. Along the trail, you may see insects, lizards, and massive buttress trees. The trail ends at a small waterfall that flows over limestone, where a cool pool invites swimming. You can go without a guide, but you must register at headquarters. Bring plenty of drinking water and insect repellent. The path is slippery and has tree roots. A morning visit works well, leaving the afternoon for the Deer Cave tour.
