At hinterland forest of South Kalimantan, besides various tropical flora and fauna, there are also beautiful waterfalls. One of them is Mandin Damar waterfall which is located at Gunung Raya village, Mentewe district, Tanahbumbu Regency, South Kalimantan. Mandin Damar waterfall has around 10 meters high and 15-18 meters wide. The waterfall is surrounded with forest and it is visited by fewer people. Its water is transparent and deep. Thus, the local people believe that the streaming water of Mandin Damar waterfall can be drunk without being boiled. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the waterfall from two sides, namely from bottom and top of the waterfall. If you love adrenalin, you can climb to the top of the waterfall. You can also jump from the top to swim at the river of the waterfall.  But you have to be careful if you want to jump from the top to avoid from injury. The easiest road to go to Mandin Damar waterfall is through Loksado district, South Hulu Sungai regency. To enter to this tourism object, you have to pay entrance ticket Rp 10,000. Because its location is at remote area, there are not many facilities provided at Mandin Damar waterfall’s complex.
