It is celebrated for pristine natural beauty and dramatic vertical drops amidst vibrant greenery making it a haven for nature lovers and photographers.
Height plunges sharply downwards roughly 80 meters into a gorge with very rocky formations approximately 262 feet below.
Sekumpul Waterfall area boasts multiple parallel cascades bunched up pretty tightly giving it a wild multi-stream look overall surprisingly enough.
Crystal-clear water flows cool year-round from mountain springs.

Local guides familiar with terrain are available and highly recommended for navigating treacherous paths safely with added cultural insight.
