From the entrance, you will walk about 20mins to Sendang Gile Waterfall, the smaller waterfall. From there, you can trek for about 45mins to the next bigger one, Tiu Kelap Waterfall which is the biggest in Lombok, but I would only suggest the physically fit ones to take this trek as you have to walk through jungles and the road is pretty steep and slippery.


You will also pass by a waterfall which you have to cross against the current of water, so no no for slippers. Best to wear something with strap around your feet and able to walk in water as it would be diffcult to wear barefoot given the rough road and the pointed rocks in the waterfall which you have to cross over.
