Rangala Natural Pool
Tourist attraction
😐 This place is well known for a natural pool but the pool but I feel this place is overrated. Just down a bridge u find it and not much deeper or u cannot swim a longer distance. You got to have drive too far from the nearest city. I recommend this place only for the scenic views you get to see on yo...
