It takes about 3 hours to finish your trekking journey and get to the K50 waterfall. Although the road is challenging to conquer, it owns stunning natural beauty. The stream of water flowing down from a height of 54m creates white fog surround the waterfall. In the middle of the wilderness, light reflects on the water surface creating a beautiful rainbow. K50 waterfall still retains the pristine beauty with rich flora.

For the most complete journey to conquer the K50 waterfall, you need to wear comfortable clothes and climbing shoes. You should bring a thin coat because the temperature falls during the night. In addition, remember to bring a raincoat and sleeping tent if you have to stay in the forest overnight. You should also prepare enough food and water for the whole journey and bring insect repellent, medicine, and a flashlight.
If you love fishing, then bring your fishing rod too. Eating fish caught from the stream and vegetables found in the jungle here will also be exciting.
