The 108 Holy Waterfalls are a series of streams falling down a steep rock face. Local Buddhist belief holds the site sacred, and many visitors stop here for a quiet moment as much as for photographs.
When to go
The falls are most dramatic in and just after the monsoon, from June to October. In late winter the flow drops and parts can freeze.
