Explore Tumpak Sewu Waterfalls - Book Your Water-Based Adventure in Malang (Klojen)

Discover the breathtaking power of Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, nicknamed the Niagara of Java, where you’ll stand before a 120-meter cascade that truly lives up to its name - literally “a thousand waterfalls”; locals from both Lumajang Regency and Malang Regency call it Grojogan Sewu, Coban Grojogan Sewu, Coban Tumpak Sewu or Coban Sewu. The main drop is fed by meltwater from the Glidik River, creating a misty, fog-like veil that will take your breath away and makes for unforgettable photos and memories. You’ll also feel the dramatic presence of Semeru mountain - also known as Semeru Mount - looming behind the falls, framing the scene with Java’s highest peak. Whether you’re planning an Outdoor & Nature outing, an Adventure & Thrill day trip, or a family sightseeing visit, the falls’ dramatic height, local names, and river-fed flow make this East-Java landmark an essential stop on any Malang-area itinerary.
