^{This waterfall is one of a kind} 

 

^{Alkaline waterfall proven, as we get to waters are so cold, its like a freezing temperature. Waters are from the middle of the mountain which have stones, unidentified or no one knows where is the water source yet. A lot of people drink the water and I also try it, it taste even better on a spring water which we buy on bottles. So amazing place and one of a kind.}
