The Nuance
The most noticeable characteristic of Jagapati Waterfall is the presence of three levels of landscapes on where tourists can explore.

The next allure is definitely the clean and refreshing water, which is suitable for bathing and playing water.

Exploring Jagapati Waterfall
As mentioned earlier, the water comes from Limbung Mountain. This explains why it feels so refreshing and looks so clear. The water also flows to another waterfall called Tujuh Neglasari, which is also recommended to visit. Here is the thing. A trip to Jagapati Waterfall involves a short trekking and tourists need to pass through several landscapes like local farms and steep routes. This even becomes more challenging if they come during the rainy season, as the trek becomes slippery and dangerous. In order to prevent misfortunes, everyone should wear good footwear and come only during a good weather.
Once arriving at the site, tourists can explore the waterfall right away! For the best experience, tourists should come with a tour guide as he may tell about the history of the site to them. It is said the name “Jagapati” has the meaning of “preventing the death”. It is because the waterfall has a significant role in sustaining the nearby environment and animals. The water gives the life to them and keeps the ecosystem well over time.
The next impressive feature of Jagapati Waterfall is the presence of stunning natural pond with the beautiful color of water. During the hot season, the water has the color of Tosca but it turns darker during the rainy season. Therefore, tourists shouldn’t come during bad weather at all cost. Instead, they would miss the chance to see such stunning pond during the visit.
