Spend a day exploring northern Lombok’s two signature falls—Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep—paired with a village visit and local market. This private tour mixes easy hikes, cultural stops, and scenic viewpoints at the foot of Mount Rinjani.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan into a humid, green pocket of northern Lombok where the air smells of wet earth and wood smoke. A narrow path winds through rice paddies and small homesteads, then tightens into a mossy gorge; the voice of water grows louder until Sendang Gile appears—a vertical sheet plunging into a shallow pool—beckoning you forward. A short scramble downstream reveals Tiu Kelep, a broader, more ferocious fall that throws fine spray like a challenge to your camera lens.
