Ingkumhan Falls

Overview

Ingkumhan Falls is a waterfall in Barangay Bauhugan, Dimiao, Bohol, listed in the provincial tourist-attraction inventory. Dimiao municipality also holds Damagan Falls and Pahangong Twin Falls, which points to active runoff feeding the area from the interior highlands. The falls run in two tiers: a broad, easily reached basin near the entrance, and a smaller, more secluded pool roughly 300 metres upstream.

Location

Barangay Bauhugan, Dimiao, Bohol. Dimiao is a municipality in south-central Bohol, approximately 40–50 km from Tagbilaran City.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, travel southeast toward Dimiao via the coastal or interior road. From Dimiao town proper, the falls are reached by motorcycle (habal-habal), approximately 30 minutes from the town centre.

Practical Info

Reported entry fees (from a visitor guide, not an official rate sheet, so treat as indicative rather than current):

• Adult entrance: ₱10; child: ₱5
• Motorcycle parking: ₱10; van parking: ₱20
• Bamboo raft rental: ₱25
• Cottage rental: ₱100

A separate, differently-dated guide cites a flat ₱20 per-person entrance fee — the discrepancy likely reflects a fee change over time rather than two different fee schedules; current rate should be confirmed on arrival.

• Best months: December–April (water volume stable; trail conditions better in dry season)
• Avoid: July–September (typhoon season; flash flooding risk in waterfall areas)
• Guide: No mandatory guide is reported; local motorcycle drivers familiar with the falls can provide basic orientation. Life vests are reported available on-site.
• Facilities: comfort rooms, changing areas, a small store, cottages, and lifeguard staff are reported present at the first tier.

What to Expect

The first tier’s basin runs close to 12 feet — roughly 3.5 metres — deep, cold and cobalt-blue, and it is the site’s main draw for swimming and cliff jumping. Reaching the second tier means a short scramble upstream over rock reported as smooth, wet, and slippery underfoot, so it is worth taking slower than the terrain looks like it needs.

[TO ENRICH: precise waterfall height/width not consistently confirmed across sources — figures of approximately 8 m height by 10 m width appear in one visitor guide but are not corroborated elsewhere.]
