Check out Kathu Waterfall

Posted by Andaman Sam on October 22nd, 2010 filed in Activities, Day tripping

Kathu Waterfall is found right near the Loch Palm Golf Course. It is very convenient to get to, and is a popular place to escape the summer’s heat with an enjoyable walk around the waterfall followed by a picnic with friends. There is a good range of facilities around the waterfall, including a number of restaurants and food stalls which make for a very picturesque lunch location.

Right nearby the main car park are a number of small drop pools and a cascading stream. This area is a very popular swimming location, and you will often find many locals and visitors alike enjoying the beautiful cool water.

After enjoying the drop pools for a quick swim, taking the time for a walk is highly recommended. If you cross the bridge and continue walking up the hill, you will see 2 large artificial drop pools that are created by the wall of 2 dams. In September and October when it is raining, these 2 pools are usually full of water and provide another opportune location for those wishing to enjoy a swim.

Further up the hill, beyond these 2 dams, is an excellent vantage point from which to enjoy the view down over the Kathu Waterfall. This is a great view and well worth the time to enjoy the scenery.
