3. Sunbathing
You can just stand at the bottom on the river, right just where the waterfall goes down. Or rent a lazy chair next to the river for 5,000 RP. Don’t forget your sun cream, or the sun will burn your skin quickly!
4. Self Potrait
Take some photos. Tegenungan has some great spots to upload it on to your Instagram., ans share them to the world!
If you have children with you, it it better to leave your luggage in the car, and just bring it as necessary (one small bag). Why?
There are hundred of stairs that will guide you to the bottom of the hill, to meet with the waterfall. Although the tracks are not difficult, but once again; there are hundreds of stairs!
To go down and up again when comeback could be stressing for a child. So maybe you need to pickaback them.
