    From the top after the rice terraces and just before going down, you can see the river forming a U shape. The water is clear and the rapid is quite observable. Though I have seen the waterfalls in many pictures online, I know it is going to be huge, really huge. And I was not mistaken.Through the meandering, steep and treacherous trail, the beauty of the Tappiya Falls awaits those who endeavor to see it. The massive river falling from its apex, around 30 meters in height, is imposing. It seems that all the streams of the mountains convened together to create a gigantic spring of water. And as the river falls in full force, it creates a booming sound so domineering and so constant, but yet those who hear and see it resign themselves to its serene beauty. The mists created from its gushing could reach several meters depending on the wind direction that sometimes it even creates rainbows up on the crags. Its water of different hues of emerald green is reflected from the surrounding lush vegetation.The water of Tappiya Falls is one of the coldest, if not the coldest among other waterfalls I have ever been to. But it was surely a relief to everyone in the midst of the scorching heat of the sun after a breathtaking trek to the highest part of the Batad Rice Terraces. One will surely miss the totality of their Batad adventure without going to this divine abode, a resting place maybe of the gods, the anitos and the spirit of the Ifugao ancestors.

    The trek down the Batad Rice Terraces and the long steep stairwell and up is an arduous task, I would not recommend this kind of trek for a faint-hearted person. One should have strong legs and a lot of perseverance to enjoy and finish this trek.Tappiyah Falls is a grand waterfall with a 70-meter drop, it has a very big basin at the bottom with very clear cold water. It would take 45 minutes trek from the Saddle point down to Hillside Inn and another 45 minutes down from Hillside Inn to this majestic falls and these figures are for seasoned hikers.It is advisable to start the trek very early in the morning and savor the grandness of the terraces. Take a lot of photos, it would be a great remembrance of the day you have survived Batad Rice Terraces and Tappiyah Falls. One thing to remember, before taking photos of the locals, ask for their permission first.Be careful and enjoy these wonderful sight the nature has to offer.

    After an hour or so of trek through Batad Rice terraces, take a dip in this uber cold waters to rejuvenate for the trip back.The area is wide and can accommodate at least a hundred people.

    It takes a huge amount of courage and perseverance to endure the trail to this falls. One gets to experience a majestic view of the rice terraces and a semi treacherous path before reaching this destination. Once you reach the falls, make sure to gather energy and strength as the climb back is not a very easy one... Will literally and figuratively take your breath away. Beautiful things are almost always hard to reach like this one... Rent a walking stick when they drop you off the saddle point... this will be useful for balance and stability in your trek...

    Once arriving at the jumping off point for the trail down to the falls, many people are dissuaded by the look at the decent (a drop of over 500 meters and 400-odd steps down) and some decide to turn back! Gather your energy and calm your vertigo and shaky legs because the falls are worth the trek and the effort to reach them is well rewarded. If you are there early in the morning or late in the day, you can have the place mostly to yourself as most of the organized tours will visit around mid-day or early afternoon. If you are up for it, try a swim in the refreshing cool waters.

    Once you have committed to the falls, hiking past the rice fields are wonderful and well worth the trip for anybody, but once you reach the steep decent downhill for a good 500m it can be a little daunting, the stone steps are very steep with a small width to place your feet, some of the stones can also be quite mossy/slippery.Remeber at some stage you will be hiking back up these steps, take it slow, keep hydrated and enjoy the experience both ways.Once you reach the falls, all the hard work will be forgotten, I really feel that if you are not willing to swim in the pool of water beneath the falls it's pointless to take the hike. If you do swim you will understand the bliss.Tip: take a pair of wet shoes, as the rocks near the falls can be quite painful to walkk on.

    The waterfall itself is not extraordinary beautiful although it is ok and you can also swim there. What is really amazing is the road to reach it because you get to pass through the rice terraces which are amazingly beautiful. Be extra carefull when passing through as some of the paths are really narrow and you need to pay attention. Do not forget to put on proper shoes and take bathing suits, towel, and a raincoat as it offten rains there

    Going to the falls wasn't that easy and so does going back . there are instances that rocks got so slippery and might slipped but as we all know we have to take extra precaution. The waterfall is majestic. It gives a cool breeze. If you want to take a dip, it's really that cold. Overall, worth to travel

    Swimming in this massive waterfall after walking for hours through the beautiful rice terraces with the sun beating down was just what was needed. The cool clear water was so perfect! Not too many people there either! Small little food stall to grab a drink with a lovely woman at the top as well.

    The walk was really long and of course tiring but the view and the whole experience was rewarding. This place made me realise that this is how God shows His love to us.
  • angeloalmero
    not so big and yet so far , need a lot of energy to do this, but you will surely love the freezing splash of the waterfall on your face and will surely swim down. precautions must be exercised person with health problems

    We stayed and Ramons Homestay and they say its a 30 min hike. Well, we are super slow and stop to take pics every 5 mins, so I think it took us 2 hours! The hike was not too hard except for when we went up and down the stairs, which we normal stairs, not the hidden ones. The falls was super cool, but the water was cold! We just went in for a pic, but didn't swim. The current is very strong so I don't think it's good for swimming.

    We really enjoyed our hike to see the waterfalls. You come here to enjoy nature at its own state. Depending on your fitness, from the lodging houses in Batad town, it may take 25 minutes to an hour one way. Once there, be bold. Go swim in the almost freezing waters. Get your feet accustomed to the cold and just jump in. It is exhilorating. After a while, your body adjusts to the temperature. Do not expect warm tropical waters.If you did not bring light replenishment, there are local vendors on the 2 stops. Pricey but well deserved for all the troubles to take to those points.

    It's definitely worth the hike... and the hike to it is just as great as the waterfall itself! I'm not really a "wow, a waterfall" person but I really loved this one. Maybe it was the somewhat challenging hike to the falls that made it look even better because you finally made it to your destination. Bring a hiking stick.

    We met a couple from Canada who had decided not to see these falls with their mindset being "once you've seen a waterfall you've seen them all", which I almost agreed with, especially having seen some stunning waterfalls at home. However after making the trip all the way down those steps, I was still impressed with the Tappiyah Falls. It was cold when we were there so I didn't take a dip but my partner did and enjoyed it. Beware on a damp/misty day, the steps can get a bit slippery as some of them tilt slightly down. A walking stick/branch wouldn't go amiss if you're not entirely confident/have slippery shoes.
