Menenun Keindahan - Air Terjun Benang Kelambu dalam Konteks Karya Jahit dan DIY
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.
Batu Santek Waterfall
As with a few of the waterfalls on Lombok, travelers visiting Batu Santek and Tibu Bunter Falls will be rewarded with two waterfalls in the same location! These two are lesser-known, hidden gem waterfalls locatednear the village of Sesaot in Central Lombok and accessible via a short walk through the rice fields.
The first, Batu Santek waterfall is a 10-meter waterfall plunging into a shallow pool. The encaving rock face also has several adjacent streams that create a peaceful ambiance. Although the pool is too shallow for swimming, Batu Santek makes a great spot to chill out and cool off and each time I visit here I have it all to myself.
Location: Sesaot Village, Central Lombok
Tibu Bunter Waterfall
Only 10 minutes away from Batu Santek waterfall is another secret waterfall named Tibu Bunter. Don't be confused! There is a waterfall in Tetebatu with this exact name. This one is located in Sesasot, about an hour from Tetebatu. This waterfall is hidden underneath some beautiful rice paddies and has a similar height and shape to Batu Santek.
Reaching Batu Santek and Tibu Bunter Waterfall takes just over an hour on a motorbike from Senggigi. On the way, you'll small villages and large fruit markets.
Location: Sesaot Village, Central Lombok

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.
