Personal feedback or experience

We visited Kalu waterfall in August 2021 by private vehicle and visited both the top viewpoint and the bottom viewpoint. While we were hopping from one place to other for around a week we had our own stove and food with us.

The Kalu waterfall trek from the bottom view is dangerous and we would strongly recommend you to hire a guide and then only visit. 

For the top viewpoint be careful with the fog environment which confuses you about the edge of the waterfall and can be a fatal accident.

We would request you to not throw any kind of garbage at Kalu Waterfall, visit an amazing place and keep it like that only even if you find any waste make it a point that you bring back some waste on the way with you.
