From July to January, the river runs stronger and it is very easy to spend a relaxing and calm day, watching fishermen and their families catch little fish among the rocks in the strong flowing while picnicking under any of the wooden shelters in the area. During the dry season, the river runs low but it still makes a nice breezy day picnicking under shaded trees. You can take a dip in the cool water and have a nice view of surrounding areas. You may want to bring some snack and drink as there is not much to buy at the place.
