Well, for those who like adventures with incredible natural panoramas, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is a destination you must visit.

Located on the slopes of Mount Semeru, or precisely in the area of Sidomulyo Village, Pronojiwo District, Lumajang Regency, this waterfall amazes visitors because it is said to be similar to Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and America.

There are several points that visitors can explore here. Tourists who do not want to visit other points can directly enjoy the Tumpak Sewu waterfall from the panoramic spot.

Access is relatively easy; visitors who walk about 5 minutes from the parking lot are presented with a magnificent giant waterfall that stretches like a curtain.

This waterfall is a giant 120-meter-high water channel sourced from the natural springs of Mount Semeru. According to Lumajang Regency, the name Tumpak Sewu itself means water piled up.

Drip Cave (Goa Tetes)

A drip cave is under the waterfall at the end of the Glidih River. It is named Goa Tetes because water from above seeps and drips on the cave walls.

There are various myths and legends associated with Goa Tetes. In fact, the locals believe that the water from the cave is productive to make us more youthful.

Visitors who want to visit this tourist attraction for a vacation can reach it from two points: Lumajang Regency, which is 50 kilometers from the city center, and Malang Regency.

For a nominal fee of IDR 10,000 per person, you can gain entry to this breathtaking tourist area, making it an affordable and accessible destination for all.

Don’t worry; the facilities around the panoramic spot include stalls and public toilets.
