[2024 Pronojiwo Attraction] Travel Guide for Tumpak Sewu Waterfall (Updated Nov)

Volcano and waterfall in one frame, I went to Indonesia for this photo

Sewu Waterfall in East Java, Indonesia, is indeed one of the most stunning waterfalls. 'Sewu' in Javanese means thousand-layer waterfall. These waterfalls thunderously plunge into a horseshoe-shaped jungle canyon, looking as if they fell into Jurassic Park! - 🚩Best experience: ▪️Sewu Waterfall Viewing Platform There are two levels, the second level offers a better angle to overlook the waterfall. ▪️Hike into the canyon to reach the bottom of the waterfall. The path down is right next to the viewing platform. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk into the canyon, and then another 5 minutes to walk through the canyon to reach the waterfall. The path down is rough and quite dangerous, not highly recommended. - 📷Photography tips: ▪️Using a drone can capture the scene of Mount Semeru, the highest active volcano in Java, and Sewu Waterfall in one frame. Due to the dense surrounding jungle, be sure to pay attention to the safety of drone takeoff and landing. ▪️Aerial shots with a drone at noon can even capture the magical sight of the waterfall flow and double rainbows in one frame under the refraction of sunlight. - 🚗How to get there: ▪️It is recommended to stay in a hotel in Malang city and drive about 2 hours to Sewu Waterfall. ▪️Due to a sudden heavy rain in mid-July 2023 causing a mudslide, the essential bridge from Malang to Sewu Waterfall was destroyed and has not yet been repaired. The road is impassable, so you need to take a local motorcycle to cross the broken bridge to reach the Sewu Waterfall viewing platform. ▪️Take a local motorcycle from the motorcycle point for about 20 minutes to the entrance of the scenic area, then walk for 10 minutes to reach the Sewu Waterfall viewing platform. - 🎫Viewing platform ticket: 20k IDR (approximately 10 RMB) 🎫Waterfall bottom ticket: 10k IDR (approximately 5 RMB) ⏰Opening hours: 7:00-17:00 📣Recommended visit duration: Viewing platform 0.5-1h, hiking to the bottom of the waterfall 2-3h

Spectacular Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

People often go to Tumpak Sewu, and just see The Waterfall from View Point at abobe. Don’t stay at the overlook too long, because you still have to see the waterfall from below! The best lighting for this is early in the morning before the sun gets high, otherwise taking the right photos can be more of a challenge. Head down the path for about 20 minutes to reach the bottom of the ravine. The path is mostly bamboo steps with bamboo railings, and it’s a little sketchy in spots, but nothing too terrible. Just proceed carefully. Once you reach the bottom of the ravine, you’re only a 5-10 minute walk away from the main event. The towering walls on either side of the ravine let you know how tiny you are, and how epic things are about to get. There’s one shallow stream to cross, with a small bridge covering part of it. Cross the bridge, round the corner, and prepare to have your mind blown by the epic sight! This is when the scale hits you for the first time and you can’t help but feel ant-like. There are a lot of good photo spots next to the waterfall, but be aware that the rocks are very slippery and any electronics you bring within 100 yards of the falls WILL get soaked. I’d recommend bringing a dry bag to keep your camera, drone, or other electronics safe between photo sessions here. Enjoy and be safe! #waterfall#naturalwonders#hiking#nationalpark#lakes

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is arguably Indonesia’s best waterfall. It isn’t the largest, even in East Java, but is definitely the most impressive. From above it looks like the tree of life, from below it is immensely powerful and from all angles, it is quite simply mind-blowing. Once you reach the canyon you start to get an idea of the scale of the walls. You are an ant within the gorge and you know you are about to witness something incredible. After turning the final corner you will never forget the moment you enter the cauldron at the foot of Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. It is pure magic with more than thirty different waterfalls plummeting down into the cauldron into tiny pools below. #urbanexplorer

Tumpak Sewu, Asian Niagara Falls

I'm not a fan of waterfall, but Tumpak Sewu took my breath away. Tumpak Sewu is an enormous waterfall that creates a semi-circular curtain of showers against a giant rock face. Tumpak Sewu is generally translated to mean ‘1000 waterfalls’ in the Javanese language and stands at a whopping 120 meters (390 ft)! The waterfalls are magnificent. Path to the waterfall is a really wonderful experience, but prepare good shoes to walk in the water as there are parts that you need to move in the water. The hike is not that difficult. It’s worth to get close. #tumpaksewu #asianniagarafalls #waterfall #travelfreak

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

#travelbloggers Beautiful waterfall. Amazing view, bring gear to get wet though because if you go down you will be sprayed by the huge waterfall. The path to get down is very steep, and takes a long time to descend, then coming back up is a pretty good cardio workout. But the waterfall is worth it, truly amazing. There are also many smaller waterfalls around, some that you walk through too.But beware you might have to pay again to enter the waterfall when you hike down.overall IT ok

I seem to have captured the essence of 'The Shawshank Redemption' at Sewu Waterfall | Life cannot confine me

| Life cannot confine me. In the 'Shawshank' moment of freedom at Sewu Waterfall In the embrace of Sewu Waterfall, I felt as if I had traveled through time and resonated with Andy from 'The Shawshank Redemption'—life, after all, is a cage that cannot imprison me. My freedom, like the waterfall, rushes endlessly and reigns supreme. 🌊 When I stood in front of the waterfall, raising my arms, at that moment, I felt like the protagonist of the movie, experiencing the joy of regaining freedom. The water droplets gently brushed my face like fine threads, bringing an unprecedented freshness and comfort, as if even my soul was cleansed to purity. 📸 But please don't be easily deceived by these photos; behind them are my tireless efforts, trekking through mountains and rivers, and even getting soaked. However, it was all worth it because Sewu Waterfall, one of Indonesia's most spectacular and pristine waterfalls, rewarded me with its breathtaking beauty for all my efforts. 👫 What surprised me even more was that along the way, Indonesian friends came up to take pictures with me, and some even praised us as looking like Blackpink members. This sudden 'star treatment' made me feel both surprised and proud. Every few minutes, someone would ask if they could take a photo, and this enthusiasm and friendliness made the trip even more unforgettable. 📝 Travel Tips: Streamline your luggage: The whole trip takes only 2-3 hours, so try to minimize what you carry, especially avoiding non-waterproof bags to prevent items from getting wet. The importance of a guide: A reliable guide can make your journey smoother. They are not only familiar with the routes but can also capture the most beautiful moments for you, making every photo a masterpiece. Footwear choice: While stream shoes are good, they are not necessary. A pair of non-slip shoes, such as Vans or hiking boots, can also handle the slippery challenges of the waterfall. There are also rental services at the foot of the mountain for your convenience. Energy management: Although descending is relatively easy, you still need to conserve energy when climbing up and stay safe. The entire journey is somewhat challenging, but when you stand in front of the waterfall, all your efforts will turn into the most beautiful scenery.
