Discover the Beauty of Benang Kelambu Waterfalls in the Lombok Highlands

 In the jungle-covered highlands of central Lombok, two waterfalls sit within close proximity of each other, each with a character entirely distinct from the other. Benang Kelambu waterfalls takes its name from the curtain-like fall of water through overhanging tree roots and dense tropical vegetation, creating one of the most photographed natural scenes on the island.

Paired with a visit to Benang Stokel on the same day trip, the experience covers two of Lombok's most impressive freshwater features in a single excursion. The journey through rice paddies, small villages, and forested hillsides is a meaningful part of the experience rather than just a transfer between locations.

What the Tour Covers and Who It Suits

The combined tour departs from accommodation across Lombok with a knowledgeable local guide managing the full day. The trail to both falls is moderate in difficulty, involving some steps and uneven ground but well within the range of visitors with average fitness.

Benang Stokel is typically visited first, featuring a broader, more open cascade with flat rocks ideal for sitting near the water. The Benang Kelambu waterfalls follow, with their distinctive curtain-through-roots formation creating a more intimate, jungle-enclosed atmosphere that feels genuinely different despite the short distance between the two.

Families, couples, and solo travellers all complete this tour comfortably. The contrast between the two waterfalls means the day never feels repetitive, and the highland setting gives visitors a side of Lombok that the coastal areas and Gili Islands simply do not offer.

Planning Your Visit to the Benang Kelambu Waterfalls

The tour pairs naturally with other central Lombok excursions across a multi-day itinerary. Many visitors combine it with a Gili Islands snorkelling trip or a Pergasingan Hill trek within the same visit.

Travelling during the dry season between May and October generally delivers the most reliable trail conditions and clearest water at both falls. Local guides with direct knowledge of seasonal conditions can advise on the best timing for each visitor's specific travel window.
