Tangkup Waterfall

The hike to the waterfall is relatively easy but beautifully scenic, taking you through fields and jungles. Along the way, there's a small donation fee, so be sure to bring some cash. The waterfall itself is stunning and powerful. We enjoyed a refreshing swim and felt rejuvenated. The natural surroundings are breathtaking, and on the return, you’ll find little huts selling water and offering the chance to carve wooden elephant platters. If you wish, you can continue walking through rice fields to a charming local village. It is a wonderful trip.

Beautiful experience walking through the jungle and getting to this little hidden gem of a waterfall. Chances are you’ll be alone with nature, as I were, and the place is teaming with beautiful colorful insects. The road to the waterfall is quite slippery, so you might be better off wearing sneakers than flip flops. Totally recommend.

3 waterfalls on the way, 2 small and medium-sized main one. Not spectacular but an easy adventure and nice views. Parking is free but would be good if you donate sth. Access to the waterfall is through a private property: a lovely woman offered us some fruit, we paid 20k IDR/person. Some complain or bargain here, but come on, it's just ~1 dollar. Support the people who make it accessible for you. On the way, there are a few bars overlooking beautiful rice terraces and the crevasse in the jungle. Liked and recommended.

I got a personal experience visiting this waterfall. First there was only me and waterfall. Exclusive opportunity be united with nature 100%. Then went up on the top of the hill and was hiding in the rain in the craftsman bamboo house (I guess that’s the little house of the same person that takes care of the place and sometimes greets you on the entrance). After visiting waterfall I passed by Warung on the mountains and had lunch enjoying a foggy view .

We visited this waterfall completely unplanned, as we stumbled upon it on our way. It’s a very beautiful spot, but I wouldn’t recommend it for families with young kids. The entrance fee is 20,000 IDR per person, and there’s a donation box at the parking area. We made a big donation, thinking it was the entrance fee, only to realize later that we still had to pay at the waterfall itself. If we had known, we would have given a smaller donation. Also, I highly recommend wearing good shoes, especially during the rainy season, as the paths are made of dirt and can get extremely slippery. That aside, the place is stunning and definitely worth a visit!
