The laughing falls are mesmerizing and a reward after an hike. After hiking for 3.9 km, we get to see the view of paradise. This hike gains about 75 meters of elevation and total length is around of 8kms. The path is well paved, some parts have rocks & steep hike while others are just nice walking trails. But this hike is a real cardio health check but not too hard. You will find it worth doing.
