You step off the minivan into cool mountain air and the road narrows to rice terraces and clove trees. The day opens with a short, steep trek through a green tunnel of ferns and palms before the jungle parts and Sekumpul Waterfall appears — multiple curtains of water dropping into a mossy pool, mist lifting like breath in the shade.
