Appropriate Clothes for the Season: It is important to dress comfortably and wear suitable clothing according to the current season. We recommend layering your clothing, so you can adjust your comfort level as needed throughout the tour.

Comfortable Shoes: As we will be exploring the waterfalls and their surroundings, wearing comfortable shoes is a must. Opt for sturdy, closed-toe shoes that provide good traction and support for walking on uneven terrain.

Backpack: As we will hike to some of the locations, a comfortable backpack to carry your equipment is highly recommended.

While it is not mandatory, we recommend bringing a DSLR or mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses for the best photography experience. A tripod, filters, a laptop to edit your photos (if you want to add the Editing class) and a wide angle or all rounder lens.

If you need to buy filters for your camera we can help you out as we are Nisi Filters Resellers.

The tour involves some easy walks, suitable for participants with a moderate level of fitness. You should be comfortable walking on flat or slightly uneven terrain for short durations. These walks are designed to be accessible for most individuals and provide ample opportunities to capture stunning photographs.
