Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Trip from Malang / Surabaya

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Trip from Malang or Surabaya

Tumpak Sewu, which means a thousand waterfalls is without a doubt,   the most spectacular and best waterfall in Indonesia. This fairly   unknown sight, also named Coban Sewu is not on the usual Java Route so you will probably be one of the few people here. With its 120   meters, it is in the list of one of the highest waterfalls in  Indonesia.  You have the option to admire the waterfall from the top and  the foot.  Plan to visit the waterfall from 7 AM for the best light.

Panoramic viewpoint Tumpak Sewu

The top of the waterfall can be seen from a panoramic viewpoint and   is just a 10-minute walk from the parking area. From the viewpoint, you   will see a curtain of silky smooth waterfalls. It is unlike any   waterfall you have ever seen. So different from the waterfalls in Bali  for example.

Hike to the foot of Tumpak Sewu

Visiting the foot of the Tumpak Sewu waterfall is a must-do   experience. Although you can’t swim at the foot, it is incredible to   feel all that water force on the ground. It is a 30 to 40-minute walk  down via bamboo stairs and through small  streams. You have to be fit to  do this walk down. It is not dangerous  but you do have to watch your  steps and be careful. Do not wear  flip-flops and wear sandals instead.
After you are done descending to  the ground, you have to walk for  another 5 minutes crossing two walking  bridges over the river to get to  Tumpak Sewu. Once at the foot of the waterfall, feel that incredible  power, take a  rest and of course a lot of photos. Take a few lens clean  clothes  because your lens will get wet. If there is one place in the  world we  can go back to, it would be this best waterfall in Indonesia.
