TIU KELEP
The Tiu Kelep waterfall near Senaru is not far from the Sendang Gile waterfall. If you are without a guide, just follow the water flow. Then you get there automatically and you save on paying the guide, who speaks little or no English. The hike to the Tiu Kelep waterfall is an easy trip and takes around 20 minutes. You walk through the lush tropical jungle. The paths are usually muddy. They lead you to several shallow rivers without bridges, so you have to wade through the rivers. You can expect to get wet until the knees. You better take off your shoes and enjoy the sensation of cold river pebbles under your bare feet. Once you get to the waterfall, you have to be careful. The stones and rocks are slippery here and there and you could slip with all the consequences. So watch out! The splashes of the falling water can be clearly felt. If you want to take photos, do so at a distance of around 30 to 40 meters.
The waterfall is surrounded by a densely protected forest. Filled with tropical plants. Such as Bajur Tree (Pterocarpus sp.), Sentul Tree (Sondarium) and Teak Tree (Tektona grandis). These trees are home to protected fauna, such as wild monkeys and a kind of cockatoo. Tiu Kelep means 'flying water features'. A waterfall of 45 meters high. The locals gave the waterfall its name, because the water flies wild from this waterfall because of this height.
The population also says that the roaring sound of water droplets is getting louder. Especially when people are talking noisily around the waterfall. During the earthquake that destroyed Lombok in 2018, Tiu Kelep is one of the destinations that was hit hard by the disaster.
