The Champee and Pak Koot rivers flow off the plateau and come together here to create the Tad Fane Waterfall, which falls an impressive 120 meters. The real beauty of this waterfall stems from its two branches of water, which divide as they spill over the steep cliffs. A seemingly endless flow of water is created and, if windy, the mist sprays create spectacular rainbows. Visitors can sit and enjoy the view from nearby resorts, or go on guided treks around the coffee plantations and forests.
