Hike to Pung Iyer Waterfall:

From there, a downhill jungle trail takes you deep into the forest. The path is shaded by tall trees, with stunning views of the valley peeking through now and then.
As you reach the waterfall, you’ll see two stunning layers. The top one has a calm emerald pool, perfect for a dip.
