Before reaching this spot, my group had to hike down through the lush forest in Lumajang. Although there were bamboo bridges, metal railings, and ropes fixed on the side of the cliff to aid in traversing the way down to the waterfall, the trail was still a challenge as it was very slippery and steep.

As soon as we reached the bottom of the valley, I was overcome with absolute awe! The grandeur of the waterfall was indescribable and, in my mind, well worth the treacherous trek!

Although it is not such a popular destination, Tumpak Sewu or Thousand Waterfalls is unarguably, for me, the best waterfalls I have so far seen in all my explorations.
