The waterfall was just beautiful. Majestic. The rush of water makes a thundering noise and misty sprays make the scene magical especially if one has spent the past one hour (or more) trekking down to this wonder.
It is such a wonderful sight: a vertical wall of rock with moss and vegetation clinging to its crevices and surface, encircling a pool. At the center of this vertical cliff, where the lip has its nadir, the gush of volumes upon volumes of water makes its way, 70 meters down. And I was just entranced looking at it while a cold wisp of air blew from the cascade.
Tappiyah Falls, where the gods in the native tribe’s cosmology come and converge is the piece de resistance to any visit to Batad which is world renowned for its amphitheater like rice terraces and where I broke a ritual taboo many years ago. Going there and back can be a challenge. Read More: http://langyaw.com/2012/06/21/why-you-should-visit-tappiyah-falls-in-batad/
Banaue Rice Terraces is regarded as the 8th Wonder of the World. Going further, one can reach the Batad Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the Batad Village, it takes roughly an hour or two of walking along narrow walkways of the rice terraces, climbing up and down steep staircases carved in the mountains, and trekking along dangerous pathways in the sides of cliffs (one wrong step and you know what will happen) to finally see this raging cascade of waters, the mighty and majestic Tappiyah Falls. Dipping into its ice-cold waters makes up for that long and tiring trek. It’s gonna be worth it! Read More: https://www.afar.com/places/tappiyah-falls-banaue
