Faq's
Yes, kids under 6 years old can visit Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, but there are a few things to consider:
1. The trail to the waterfall is steep and uneven, which may be challenging for young children. It involves a descent with some slippery steps and a natural path.
2. Parental supervision is essential, and carrying smaller children may be necessary.
3. The waterfall pool is relatively calm, making it safe for kids to splash around, but always keep a close watch.
4. Good footwear (non-slip shoes or sandals) is highly recommended for both adults and kids.
If your child is comfortable with a short but slightly adventurous trek, they can definitely enjoy the experience!
