"Benang Benang Laut - Keindahan dan Misteri di Dasar Samudra"
Benang Stokel Waterfall
We cruised straight towards Benang Stokel Falls and there was only one other tourist there. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Three epic falls flow down into a very shallow pool. No jumping into this one.
We explored in and around the falls for over an hour even getting back behind the falls. This was just the beginning.
Next, we headed down to the ‘jumping spot’. It’s about an 11-meter waterfall into an amazing little canyon. Vines hang everywhere as light battles to reach the small creek flowing beneath the falls. As my friend was checking the depth he almost leaned on a green snake. Welcome to Lombok.
After a depth check (Always a must) and a deep breath, I decided to kick the jumps off for the afternoon. The climb out means you have to walk back through the canyon for a few minutes and do some basic rock climbing back out of the canyon. By no means hard but if you are looking for an easy ladder out this isn’t the spot.
What are my favorite pieces of gear for waterfall adventures?
There are four pieces of gear that I simply never forget when I go on a waterfall adventure. These are four items that I using right now and this list gets updated every year! Here are my waterfall adventure essentials.
Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu waterfalls in Lombok
Just an hour’s cruise from Kuta Lombok, you’ll find the Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu waterfalls. From the sunny and sometimes dry south, you drive into a green oasis in just an hour. Lombok may be small, but it offers incredibly diverse nature and landscapes. You’ll find these waterfalls in the village of Aik Berik. It’s a must visit when you travel to Lombok The literal translation of the Benang Stokel waterfall is a ball of yarn. This name was given to the waterfall because the water descends like “smaller” white strands, resembling white yarn. On the other hand, the water of Benang Kelambu flows down like a blanket. According to the locals, this waterfall resembles a mosquito net, hence the name Kelambu. In addition to these two waterfalls, there are a few small, hidden waterfalls, and the surroundings are truly beautiful. This spot in Lombok is visited by both foreign and local tourists.
My experience at Benang Stokel & Kelambu Waterfalls
The Island of Lombok is a waterfall wonderland. Around each new corner is a waterfall more epic than the last. After hiking Mt. Rinjani we woke up at 330 am in Senaru and headed to Bukit Selong rice fields, which is an epic sunrise viewpoint area. After sunrise, we continued to drive down south, eventually ending up in Central Lombok after a 2.5-hour journey. Our end goal was to visit Benang Stokel Waterfall or Benang Stoke Air Terjun as goes the local name.
Once you are inside you begin the trek. It is a very, very short trek to the first falls and actually more of a walk. After about 10-15 minutes you will arrive at Benang Stokel Falls and also next to it is the ‘jumping spot’.
