Tired of working and need refreshing? Be patient, the weekend is still two days away. However, while waiting for the weekend, we will recommend nature tourism that is guaranteed not to disappoint, namely the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall.
Talking about Indonesia’s natural beauty is endless. Starting from beautiful beaches to towering majestic mountains. Visiting these natural attractions is guaranteed to impress the eyes and at the same time recharge the mental health after a week’s worth of work.
One of the tourist recommendations this time does not come from the beaches or mountains, but from a waterfall located in Sidomulyo Village, Pronojiwo District, Lumajang Regency, East Java. This waterfall is called the Tumpak Sewu waterfall and it is well known in foreign countries.
This waterfall, which is known as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Indonesia, has a height of up to 120 meters. The flowing water not only comes out of one or two paths but there are several river paths that pile up and end up becoming waterfalls. This is what finally makes this waterfall called “Tumpak Sewu” which means “stacked up to thousands”
With a height that reaches 120 meters, the falling water looks like a beautiful giant curtain covering the cliff. This waterfall is located in a steep valley with an elevation of 500 meters above sea level. Furthermore, the Tumpak Sewu waterfall is formed from the flow of the Glidih River which originates at Mount Semeru.
Because of the many rivers that become waterfalls, Tumpak Sewu is often referred to as the Niagara Falls of Indonesia. Local and foreign tourists often make this waterfall a mandatory destination when visiting East Java.
Moreover, in 2018, the Tumpak Sewu waterfall received the first podium award at the East Java Tourism Award.
In addition to the scenery, in this natural tourism, there are also other tourist activities, such as white water rafting and off-road trails.
The journey to this waterfall takes 50-60 minutes walking through winding land and rivers. The journey that takes almost an hour will be paid off with the extraordinary views that will be obtained.
Ticket prices to this tourist spot are also very cheap. Visitors are charged a ticket fee of Rp. 10,000 per person. Then, visitors need to pay a parking fee of Rp. 5,000 Rupiah for a motorbike and Rp. 10,000 Rupiah for a car.
