Discover Sendang Gile & Tiu Kelep waterfalls

From the start of the trail at Cafe Rinjani Dawn, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to Sendang Gile and an additional 30-40 minutes to reach Tiu Kelep. The trail is scenic and follows an irrigation stream, but Tiu Kelep includes river crossings, so waterproof shoes are recommended.

Yes, there are several river crossings on the way to Tiu Kelep waterfall. The water is generally no higher than knee height, but river shoes or sandals are highly recommended for comfort and safety. Some people choose to cross barefoot, but this may not be ideal due to the rocky riverbed. Your local guide will be there to assist you during the crossings, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
