Discover Terong

When planning a stay in Terong, two geographically distinct points of interest are relevant: the Trong Falls are nearby, while Trong Leisure Farm is located in Terong. If you are looking for a hotel in Terong, you can take this distinction into account when choosing your destination. The waterfalls combine a multi-part landscape with varying trail conditions; the farm’s history centers on its former use.

Waterfalls and gorge landscape

The Trong Falls complex includes two main waterfalls, several smaller falls in between, and a waterfall on a tributary about halfway along the trail. The described ensemble therefore includes not only the main falls, but also smaller cascades and the additional tributary waterfall.

The river at the falls flows through a deep gorge. You can hear its water, but cannot see it. The surrounding jungle is considered attractive and unspoiled. The gorge, the sound of the river, and the jungle shape the landscape description in different ways: the river remains out of sight, while its water can be heard.

Different guidance for the trails

The Lower Trong Fall is considered suitable for beginners. At the same time, take particular care on the steep stairs. These two points go together: the statement that it is suitable does not negate the specific need for caution on the steep stairs.

A guide is recommended for the Upper Trong Fall. The path is initially easy to recognize, but becomes indistinct farther along. Both the recommendation to go with a guide and this change in trail clarity are relevant for planning. Check current trail conditions before your visit.

The information about the Lower and Upper Trong Falls offers different guidance for planning. For the Lower Trong Fall, the focus is on its suitability for beginners and the steep stairs; for the Upper Trong Fall, it is the recommendation to go with a guide and the path becoming less distinct. The two trail descriptions therefore cannot be reduced to the same statement about navigation or suitability.

Caution when swimming

Take care when swimming at the Trong Falls because of possible sudden changes in the weather and water that may suddenly surge down from the mountains. Both hazards are particularly relevant when planning to swim: the weather can change, and water can come down from the mountains without warning. Keep both in mind when planning a visit to the falls.

The history of Trong Leisure Farm

Trong Leisure Farm is located in Terong. It was probably once an oil palm plantation and was later converted into a duck farm. Alongside the nearby landscape, Terong also has a local history of land use. The farm’s story concerns the sequence of its former uses: the oil palm plantation is a possibility, while its subsequent conversion into a duck farm is the next part of the story. This sets the farm apart from the Trong Falls, whose described features mainly concern the landscape, the trail, and safety precautions.
