 Description of Galvans Gorge

Galvans Gorge is a horseshoe-shaped gorge that lies less than 1 kilometre off the main road. It features a small campsite and a tranquil waterlily covered pool. A short walk further on and you come to a beautiful waterfall that is a great spot for a lunch break or a refreshing swim. This is a popular tourist spot and may be a lot of people here especially during the peak season.
