Terong offers two distinct points of interest for a stay: the history of Trong Leisure Farm in the village and the waterfall landscape of nearby Trong Falls. If you’re looking for a holiday rental in Terong, you can consider nature and local history as separate focal points. At the waterfalls, the landscape and trail conditions are important considerations; the farm, by contrast, centres on its former agricultural use.

The waterfall landscape

The river at Trong Falls runs through a deeply cut gorge. You can hear the water, but cannot see it. The surrounding jungle is considered attractive and unspoilt. The waterfall complex comprises two main waterfalls, several smaller falls in between, and a waterfall on a tributary about halfway along the trail. The halfway point locates the tributary waterfall along the trail, while the main and smaller falls describe the make-up of the complex.

The gorge, the river that can be heard but not seen, and the jungle create a different impression of the landscape from the division into main and smaller falls. In the area around Terong, both the shape of the landscape and the sequence of different waterfalls are key features.

Different guidance for Lower and Upper Trong Fall

Lower Trong Fall is considered suitable for beginners. However, take particular care on the steep steps; this classification does not negate that specific warning. A guide is recommended for Upper Trong Fall. The path is clearly visible at first, but becomes indistinct farther along. The guidance therefore differs: for Lower Fall, it concerns suitability for beginners and steep steps; for Upper Fall, it concerns the recommendation to hire a guide and the path becoming indistinct farther along.

Check current trail conditions before your visit, as the route described may not reflect its condition today. The information about the two falls concerns different conditions, so consider each one separately rather than drawing a blanket conclusion about all the trails.

Caution when swimming

Take particular care when swimming at Trong Falls because of changing weather and sudden surges of water flowing down from the mountains. These swimming precautions are a separate consideration from trail conditions: assessing a path or steps does not replace taking care when swimming.

The former use of Trong Leisure Farm

Trong Leisure Farm is located in Terong. It was probably once an oil palm plantation before being converted into a duck farm. This sequence is the historical focus: a probable former use for oil palm was followed by its conversion into a duck farm. The farm thus complements the nature-related attractions with a history of agricultural use and offers a different connection to the area than the gorge and waterfalls.

When looking for a holiday rental, it is helpful to distinguish the locations: the farm is in Terong, while Trong Falls is nearby. This can help you decide whether the waterfall landscape or local history is more important to your travel plans.
