DRAY NUR WATERVAL

"An Ede man explained for me the meaning of DrayNur, a touching story about a couple but I almost forgot now. I had a really sweet time here. I did a lot of things. I met the local people, I saw the way they live near the fall. I also joined a trekking tour along the Serepok river with a nice guide, who can speak English and French fluently.
The sound of fall shocked me when I heard the first time in the late afternoon. It was really wonderful to go inside the cave behind the fall, but also a little bit dangerous, and I could not take any good photos there because of the steam. I think you should visit this place when you're in BMT."
