Tappiyah Falls

Tappiyah Falls is absolutely worth the hike! The trail going there can be quite steep and challenging, especially on the way back up, but the reward at the end is incredible. Seeing the tall waterfall surrounded by mountains feels so refreshing and peaceful. The water is cold but very clean and perfect for a quick swim after the hike. It’s such a great feeling to relax near the falls while enjoying the sound of the water and the beautiful natural surroundings. Make sure to wear proper hiking shoes and bring enough water because the climb back to the village is no joke. But overall, it’s an amazing experience and definitely a must-visit when you’re in Batad.

Tough walk/climb down and up to the waterfall, although the stairs are well maintained. Since the typhoon in November 2025 there are many big rocks and mud in the main pool so it’s no longer possible to swim in the waterfall but you can dip your feet in. Water is very refreshing and nice to see. Worth the steps down and up!

Tappiyah Falls is definitely worth the hike. The trail can be steep and challenging, but the view of the tall, powerful waterfall at the end makes it all worth it. The water is cold and refreshing perfect after the trek. A must-visit when you’re in Batad.

My first time in Tappiya Falls but second time in Ifugao.The place is really far-the cliffs are no joke and it's kind of scary at first, the road is concrete up to the dead end where you need to walk, walk, walk for about an hour ( that's in our case and experienced) You also need to log your name at the Tourist Center. YOU NEED A TOUR GUIDE ! We went on a hike at 5:00 in the morning, and reached the Tappiya Falls for about 7:00 in the morning. Guys, the earlier you hike, the more chances you're gonna see a rainbow! I am so blessed to personally experienced and see it. Be careful in walking because some are steep concrete stairways . I actually struggled going there - it's really far from the Inn and the stairs are crazy! You will first experience the beauty of the rice terraces before reaching the Tappiya Falls. Make sure to wear proper footwear and clothing. There is only one store at the Tappiya Falls so better bring lots of water to stay hydrated and put lots of sunscreen too. The water is so cold and refreshing so take extra clothes if you plan to take a dip. From 5:00 AM hike we got back at around 1:30 in the afternoon. The place has no cellphone reception or low internet speed from the inn we stayed for a night, which I love because the place is freaking magnificent not to see or take videos and photos. We stayed or 2 days and 1 night and we also enjoy the local food.

This is one of the most photogenic spots in Philippines. It takes about 2 hours from Batad saddle, but it is totally worth it. The waters are cool, but not cold and actually quite welcoming when it's hot.

The hike going here is definitely 8/10 for me. Ang daming ahon at lusong. The steps are also steep. But sobrang rewarding when we reached the falls. My legs are soooo soooreee when we went back home. But will definitely try to do this again.

Whenever I visit the breathtaking and awe-inspiring Batad rice terraces and Tappiya Falls, I am instantly enveloped in a sense of tranquility. The sight of the ancient rice terraces carved into the mountainside, coupled with the soothing sounds of the cascading waterfalls, creates an overwhelming feeling of connection to the natural world. This serene environment serves as my ultimate sanctuary for stress relief. My third visit. Fourth? coming soon.

The place is majestic. The trail is not that hard because it is already a scemented stair. Swimming is available but highly suggested not to go to the deepest part under the fall of the falls. If weather is good start early to avoid the flock of people. Trek is about 45 minutes one way but more going back because uphill. You will pass by two stores where you can buy refreshments and souvineers.
