Chasing Waterfalls: The Hidden Gems of Bir (Chobu & Bangoru) 🌊

When you are done flying in the sky, it is time to ground yourself in the water. Bir has two stunning waterfalls that offer completely different vibes. One is a picnic party, the other is a jungle adventure.

ADVENTURE EXTREME

1. Bangoru Waterfall

THE "WILD" ONE

Bangoru is not for the faint-hearted. It involves a 30-minute drive followed by a grueling but rewarding 1-hour hike deep into the forest.

  • āœ“ Crystal clear shallow pools
  • āœ“ Safe for non-swimmers
  • ⚠ Don't dare to do it without a guide.
  • āœ“ Perfect for photos

Chobu is perfect for a quick escape. A 45-minute drive gets you close, and then it's just a breezy 10-minute walk to the water.

āš ļø Warning: Do not attempt this in monsoon. The flash floods are real.
  • āž¤ 45 min drive + 10 min hike
  • ⚠ Don't dare to do it without a guide.
  • āž¤ Slippery rocks - Wear shoes!
