Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

Tumpak Sewu is often called the Niagara of Java, though it looks more like a curtain: water drops from gaps along a cliff nearly one hundred meters wide at the foot of Semeru. From the panorama point you see the whole curtain from afar. Descend to the base and you stand where the water lands, damp from its mist.

The descent is dirt and rock with rope holds at a few points, so shoes with real grip are mandatory. We always assign a local guide who knows the trail by heart, and this trip is usually paired with Madakaripura or run solo with a dawn start from Malang.
