Walk to Tappiya Falls

Per the itinerary the walk to the falls should have happened yesterday afternoon. Though with the rain all afternoon we decided, to defer the walk to this morning.

We left the guesthouse after breakfast and – once more – made our way through the amphitheater criss-crossing the rice terraces, to then descent down towards the river (the same river, that we had a dip in two days back in Cambulo) and then following the path upstream, until we reached the waterfall. Overall a walk (one-way) of about 2km.

At the falls there was again an option for a quick dip / swim (I was in up to my knees) – followed by the walk back – this time up (about 200m of elevation gain overall).

After a quick lunch in the guesthouse we took our packs and left Batad and got onto the trail leading out of Batad, to cover a good km until we hit the road and changed back to our jeepney.
