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
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.

Overall, we had an epic time at these waterfalls. I'd rank them up there with my favorite in Lombok. After a long day of waterfall-chasing, we made the tiring drive back to Senggigi just in time for sunset on Pantai Malase with some local legends.
