The Nuance
In terms of nuance, Cadas Ngampar Waterfall is indeed peaceful due to its secluded location. That means the environment is suitable to enjoy relaxation and finding peace. Here is the unique thing. The waterfall only has the height of 7 meters and it features a natural pond with the depth of 5 meters. What is next? The small rocky cliff surrounds the waterfall, which consists of volcanic stones. It is said those stones were formed due to the explosion of Salak Mountain in 1699.

The water is clear and it feels quite soothing, especially for those who want to take a bath in it. Not only they can swim in the river, but they can use the natural pond of Cadas Ngampar Waterfall as well. It is considered deep, though, so tourists must not be careless when swimming or playing water in it. For parents with kids, they must not let their children getting in the pond!
The safest activity to do in Cadas Ngampar Waterfall is indeed photography. Tourists only need to use their camera find some good spots to capture some beautiful good pictures or selfies.
