Sendang Gile & Tiu Kelep waterfalls
Lombok’s two most spectacular waterfalls, at the foot of Rinjani in the far north. A long day from Kuta, but the drive up the west coast and the river walk to Tiu Kelep are worth every hour.

North through Mataram and up the coast road past Senggigi and the Gili viewpoints. About 3.5 hours.
Sendang Gile (9.45 am)
A 15-minute walk down steps to a 30 m single-drop fall. Easy and impressive.
Tiu Kelep (10.30 am)
A 45-minute walk further, wading a river, to the big one: a thundering horseshoe of water and mist you can swim right under.
Lunch in Senaru (1 pm)
Warung lunch with a view of Rinjani’s summit on a clear day.
Home via the coast (2.30 pm)
Sunset from Malimbu or Nipah hill over the Gilis, back in Kuta around 6.30 pm.
About Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep
Both waterfalls are fed by Rinjani’s crater lake and flow year-round. Entrance is around IDR 20,000 plus a compulsory local guide (IDR 100,000–150,000 per group) for Tiu Kelep. The river crossing is knee to thigh deep; wear sandals with straps and bring a dry bag.
Make it two days
Senaru is also the start of the Rinjani trek. If you would rather not do 7 hours of driving in one day, we can drop you at a Senaru guesthouse and collect you the next day. See Rinjani transfers.
