It begs the question how did they get there since they spent a lot of money putting up those huge concrete pillars everywhere after the last time this happened, to stop it happening again.
Just before you start descending the steep stairs a couple of hundred metres before the waterfall, there is a pavilion type structure where you go to hide from the rain. Directly behind that there is a trail that nobody knows about that goes up to the best view of the waterfall, I took the picture below in rainy season.
On that trail you have to walk along the line of concrete pillars and there is a least one that has failed/crumbled apart. I last saw that about 6-9 months ago so I don't know if they've repaired it since then but probably not and maybe a gap like that is how the elephants got through. Lack of maintenance...
