Air Terjun Sindang Gila

Lombok


This spectacular set of falls is a 20-minute walk from Senaru via a lovely forest and hillside trail. The hardy make for the creek, edge close and then get pounded by the hard, foaming cascade that explodes over black volcanic stone 40m above.

You do not need a guide to reach Air Terjun Sindang Gila; it is on a well-marked path.
