12 Amazing Waterfalls on Lombok, Indonesia (+ Map)
By Olly Gaspar, full-time traveler for 6 years. I visit every place I write about & share real tips, photos, & advice from my trips.
Discover these epic waterfalls on Lombok from well-known highlights like Tiu Kelep to hidden gems you won’t find anywhere else online!
Those visiting Lombok Indonesia from neighboring Bali might not expect to find the large variety of epic waterfalls on offer. But, scattered throughout the volcanic island is a diverse range of cascades from rainforest giants on the slopes of Mount Rinjani, to quiet, refreshing swimming spots in the jungle.
I’ve visited Lombok several times, including in the dry season and rainy season. In my experience, although Lombok has a generally drier climate than Bali, you’ll still be able to visit many of these waterfalls year-round. This Lombok waterfall guide features my top 12 favorite cascades I recommend visiting on your trip as well as a useful map.
Tiu Teja Waterfall
Tiu Teja Waterfall is nestled in the northern foothills of Mount Rinjani in Lombok's northern regency. It's an impressive single-drop cascade with a swim-friendly shallow pool at its base and accessible via a scenic 3.6 km hike through lush cacao & banana plantations.
Tiu Teja's name translates to "rainbow waterfall," due to the beautiful rainbow visible in its powerful mist.
While it used to be quite a well-known waterfall even promoted by the Indonesian Tourism Board, the earthquake in 2018 sadly destroyed much of the infrastructure leading to the waterfall. This has not been rebuilt, resulting in Tiu Teja being forgotten by travelers and its trail reclaimed by the jungle.
Luckily, it's still possible to reach if you're up for an adventure! Read my guide to find out more.
Fun Fact: Air Terjun Tiu Teja was once known as the "Twin Falls" of Lombok. However, on my recent visit, I've noticed that the streams have converged into one, single powerful drop.
Location: Santong Village, Northern Lombok
