Lot of family people come there. Even small children take bath in the waterfalls. It's a natural waterfalls, not a commercial place, so there will be no facilities. Just plan how you are going to change clothes in the open if you get drenched. Or don't get drenched.

Also care should be taken if one is walking on the stones as they are very slippery. It could be disappointing if water is not at the correct level. So check with some locals if possible about the place before going there. There are no restrictions as such but people should take utmost care. Chances that a fun trip could turn into sadness if people...
