Kompas/Jumarto Yulianus

Visitors enjoy the waters at Haratai Waterfall in Haratai village of Loksado district, Hulu Sungai Selatan regency, South Kalimantan, on Monday (27/3/2017). Haratai Waterfall is a popular Loksado tourist destination.

Aditya Rahmaniardi, 24, finally took a plunge after pacing back and forth on the lanting, or bamboo raft. At first, he had doubts about whether to swim or not at the Haratai Waterfall in Loksado district, Hulu Sungai Selatan regency, as the water looked too cold and too deep. Even the foam was coldto the touch.

“Apparently, the water is not too deep toward the edges,” said Adit, short forAditya, while holding on to the raft to avoid being dragged away by the current. Where Adit stood, the water was only waist-deep. He then dived in a few times to get soaking wet.
