- Be aware of the terrain: It is important to be aware of the terrain you are travelling in, as it can be slippery and steep at times. Wearing appropriate footwear and bringing extra support such as a walking stick or pole can help you navigate safely. Additionally, take note of any streams, rocks, or other obstacles that may be present in the area.
- Wear sunscreen: It is important to protect your skin from the sun when visiting Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu Waterfall. Wear clothing that covers your arms and legs, as well as a hat for additional protection from the sun's rays. Be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen before heading out on your adventure.
- Bring enough water: Make sure you bring an adequate amount of water with you during your visit to Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu Waterfall, especially if you plan on spending several hours there. Avoid dehydration by sipping water throughout your hike, even if it’s not hot outside.
- Stay on designated trails: While exploring the area around Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu Waterfall, it is important to stay on designated trails at all times. This helps prevent damage to sensitive ecosystems that are found in this natural environment. Additionally, always respect private property by not trespassing onto land that does not belong to you.
- Bring a buddy: Visiting a waterfall can be dangerous if done alone, so make sure you bring along a friend or family member for added support during your hike. Additionally, having someone there with you allows for assistance should an emergency arise while adventuring around the falls or nearby areas
Benang Kelambu Waterfall
From Benang Stokel follow the maps and signs to reach Benang Kelambu waterfall. The walk is a short 15-minute one, up the jungle roads, past banana plantations, and ending up with a steep descent down to the last waterfall location.
Air Terjun Benang Kelambu is one of my favorite waterfalls in Lombok, purely because it is so unique. Kelambu translates to "net" in Indonesian, and it's easy to see why. The water flows gently down a lush, green wall that looks almost like a portal to another world.
The wall is wide, with several soothing cascades flowing gently into a man-made concrete swimming pool.
Travel Tip: You might be tempted to walk straight to the main waterfall and swimming pool. However, just to the left past the steps and behind a curtain of vines and trees is another small waterfall. From here, you can even walk up to your right to get an epic shower inside Benang Kelambu waterfall.
Benang Kelambu Waterfall
It then started pouring! Half of our crew headed for cover and three of us continued on to Benang Kelambu Waterfall. It was the fifth fall and we decided we would skip the 3rd and 4th because of time and the rain. Let me know if that was a mistake and if we should have visited them.
We ran through the rain and made it to Benang Kelambu Waterfall in record time. It was a really unique waterfall. An epic wall of vines hides multiple cascades that flow, quietly down the wall. I’d never seen anything like it and felt like I was in a scene from a movie. A few locals played in the man-made pools at the bottom of the falls and we helped them practice their English for a while before making the sprint back during a break in the rain.

WHERE TO STAY IN NORTHERN LOMBOK
If you are visiting attractions in the north such as Tiu Kelep or Mount Rinjani you should choose one of the three accommodations in the ‘Northern‘ section below.
- Jeeva Santai Villas – Luxury Villa: Great location on the beautiful Mangsit Beach but also within driving distance of Tiu Kelep and Mount Rinjani. It is a location that offers the best of both worlds.
- Hakiki Inn Bungalows – Value: Set on the edge of rice fields with the jungle feel but the comfort of a private bungalow.
- Blue Mountain Cottage – Budget (but also value): This is where I stayed. The room was very basic but it was comfortable enough with a basic private bathroom.
