Katoomba Falls is a fantastic multi-tiered waterfall that cascades over sandstone cliffs into the Jamison Valley, and is one of the Blue Mountains’ most recognisable waterfall locations. The falls are surrounded by rugged escarpments, and from here, there are beautiful expansive views across the eucalyptus-covered ridges that stretch through the valley. The combination of plunging water, towering cliffs, and wide valley scenery makes it especially impressive if you're lucky enough to be here after it rains.

My favourite view point in the Katoomba area, stunning with the waterfall and open vista of the mountains whilst surrounded by rainforest.
Be warned, the path to get there is very muddy and pretty dark, worth it though!

Very nice waterfall, which it definitely worth to have a look.
