Descriptions

Discover the spectacular waterfalls and lush tropical landscapes of North Lombok on a private adventure to Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfalls, nestled at the foothills of Mount Rinjani.

Your journey begins with a visit to Senaru Village, a traditional mountain village where you can experience the peaceful atmosphere of rural Lombok and admire the surrounding green hills. Accompanied by a local guide, continue on a scenic walk through tropical forest to reach Sendang Gile Waterfall, where cascading water plunges down through lush vegetation, creating a refreshing natural retreat.

The adventure continues deeper into the forest toward the magnificent Tiu Kelep Waterfall. Follow forest paths, cross small streams where necessary, and take in the dramatic scenery as the powerful waterfall flows down moss-covered rock walls surrounded by dense greenery. Feel the cool mist in the air, capture stunning photographs, and enjoy the refreshing atmosphere of one of Lombok’s most famous natural attractions.

After exploring the waterfalls, take a break and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before beginning the scenic drive back. Depending on the route and conditions, you may also stop at Pusuk Monkey Forest, where wild macaques can often be seen near the roadside.

With private transportation and a local guide, this experience combines nature, light adventure, and a glimpse of traditional village life without requiring a multi-day Mount Rinjani trek. It is ideal for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, couples, and travelers looking to discover the natural beauty of North Lombok in one memorable day.

Please note: The waterfall walks involve uneven paths, steps, and potentially slippery surfaces. Swimming or entering the water is subject to local safety guidance and current conditions. Monkey at Pusuk is wild and should be observed from a safe distance.
