Senaru is known as the gateway village to climbing Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island, Indonesia. While many visitors come to trek Rinjani, Senaru has attractions beyond trekking like charming places to stay and scenic waterfalls nearby. The village of Batu Koq has almost merged with Senaru and there are two notable waterfalls in the area - Air Terjun Sindang Gila, a 50m high cascade accessible via a 20 minute walk through tropical forest, and Air Terjun Tiu Kelep which has a bathing pool below after a 40-60 minute uphill hike.
1. SENARU
Senaru is normally thought of as the key gateway village to an arduous trek up
Mount Rinjani There is a lot more to this area than that though, and those
visitors less inclined towards serious trekking should not be discouraged from
visiting here. There are some cute little places to stay, and glorious scenery all
around, including some notable waterfalls. The
village of Batu Koq about one km to the north, almost merges as one with
Senaru these days.
Air Terjun Sindang Gila (En. Slightly Crazy Waterfalls). The best known and
most spectacular of the three. The water cascades everywhere here breaking
some 50 m above the main arrival point. From Senaru village walk about 20
minutes to the southeast. The path is pleasant and leads through some
splendid tropical forest
Air Terjun Tiu Kelep. Less spectacular but still very much worth it. Continue on
uphill from Sindang Gila for about 40-60 minutes (depending on your fitness this will involve a steep uphill climb and a creek crossing and several other
obstacles). Tiu Kelep has a nice bathing pool below the falls with very cool
invigorating water.
