| Pangi Falls |
Pangi Falls is located in Brgy. San Gabriel, Borongan City, Eastern Samar. It is considered to be the least visited among the many waterfalls in that area (namely Amandaraga Falls, Ban-awan Falls, and Kaputian Falls), but the beauty is truly mesmerizing and it's worth every aching muscle once the 80 foot Pangi Falls is in sight.

This path leads one to the top of the falls. The descent to the pool at the foot of the falls may be a little tricky and requires one to be extra careful; there are no stairs to use in the descent but foot trails and roots and trunks of young trees for support. Read More
The river trek is the best way home. It may be as physically taxing as the mountain trek, but it allows one to take dips in the river to cool down and somehow relax the body from the hike. Read More

It’s so refreshing to swim in this fall. The trees surrounding its water basin provide a much-needed shade, which is perfect for those who just want to cool down and feel its calm waters. I wasn’t able to swim in Amandaraga that’s why I made sure to swim here in Pangi with its shallow waters. Definitely perfect for that mostly sunny day! Read More
TRAVEL TIPS:
- Tourists have the option to stay overnight at the campsite near the top of the falls. Since the campsite is basically just a clearing, the camper would need to bring his own tent or hammock or any sleeping gear.
- You should not do this trip in the rainy season as the water level of the river might be too high.
