Sindang Gila Waterfall, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

4.5 (138 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in West Nusa Tenggara Waterfalls

Gorgeous place - a must do!

The walk to these two waterfalls (Tiu Kelep and Sindang Gila) is a good couple of hours round trip and well worth it. Absolutely breathtaking scenery and swimming in Sindang Gila is unforgettable. There's a cave behind the falls that is nice to climb into and it is so refreshing to swim there after the hike you won't want to leave. Watch for wild monkeys on the way and be careful walking up the river, it can be a bit dangerous at times. This little trek is a nice warm up for climbing Mt Rinjani and you get to enjoy plenty of exposure along the way. Don't miss these waterfalls if you're in the area. Worth visiting to see them and the majestic Rinjani close up.

    No guide needed - breathtaking beautiful
    We went here by scooter (3 Hours from Senggigi). All the local guides at the start Will telt You that you need a guide and that you cant find it yourself. Absolutely Not true! The path is easy to find all the way to the second waterfall were you Can swim. You have to cross the river but That can easily be done without guide. The entrance fee off 10.000 was alle paid. A perfect day with spectacular views af the waterfall sand mt Rinjani.

    Must do the second!!!
    Many reviews talk about a short walk and not expending energy. I am not sure why they spent hours to get there and then not visit properly.The first waterfall is a simple level walk them down some steps. Good fun watching people getting wet, very pretty. Where the challenge and fun is, is the walk to the second waterfall. You have to walk up hill, over an aqueduct and up though a river, ruined my espedrils!! So what, it was brilliant and the local lad who guided us was excellent. If you go you must do both or there is no point.
