Tour: Bokong Falls (Small Falls)

As one could easily see in this picture, the Bokong Falls is definitely no where near the size and majestic beauty of the Bomod-ok Falls (Big Falls) but since it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the town center, it’s still worth your time. The waterfall is located at the edge of rice fields and the water drops from a height of above 20 feet. It’s no higher than a usual diving board but it’s still a rush to jump off its highest point.

The water isn’t really cold and it’s tolerable enough for a dip. The depth does go to about 17 feet just under the drop off point. There are no shower areas or dressing rooms nearby so you should be ready to either change clothes behind a waiting shed or just let your clothes dry as you walk back to your hotel.

It’s fairly easy to go to and a guide won’t really be necessary. If you want to, you may choose this location as one of three in the sightseeing itinerary. The hike is easy and can be done by children. Much care should be taken when in the vicinity of the falls itself though - the water level does drop dramatically from the periphery.

It’s not as awe -inspiring as the Big Falls or the Sagada caves, but if you want a quick dip to relax you after hours of hiking, this might just do the trick,
