Full of visitors. Parking 10,000 Entrance fee per person 20,000 Total entrance fee per person 30,000 Highly recommended for those who enjoy trekking, photography, or videography... However, for those looking for a place to just relax and eat together, it's not recommended...

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is one of the most breathtaking natural attractions I have ever visited. The panoramic view from the top is absolutely stunning, and the hike down to the base is an unforgettable adventure. The trail is challenging but well worth the effort, with lush greenery, flowing streams, and incredible scenery along the way. Standing in front of the massive waterfall surrounded by towering cliffs is an experience that photos simply cannot capture. The fresh air, cool mist, and powerful sound of the cascading water create a magical atmosphere. If you're looking for adventure, beautiful landscapes, and an authentic nature experience in Indonesia, Tumpak Sewu is a must-visit destination. I would happily come back again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves exploring the outdoors.
