Wear sturdy shoes
Waterfall approaches use uneven stone steps and mule tracks—supportive shoes with good tread make the short hikes comfortable.
Carry water and snacks

Open stretches and the dam’s banks offer little shade—hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are useful, especially in summer.
Bring small cash
Local vendors and teahouses in villages may accept only cash for souvenirs or extra refreshments.
