Not the official name, I'm having a creative block.
Carrying on with the adventure....
After returning from Komodo Dragon / Labuan Bajo the night before, this day's adventure was the Sekumpul waterfall in North Bali, I was not looking forward to this drive, having to set out at 3AM to get there early enough to beat the traffic and other tourists, I made it there early enough before they opened and chowed down the breakfast packed from the hotel. I was dead tired and having not fully recovered from the hit&run accident a week earlier, the ticket counter guys were generous enough to offer me motorbike taxi to the starting point of the hike which is about 1.5 mile away on a paved path wide enough to walk in single file and pushing against the wall in case motorbikes are coming. What a fun ride it was, holding onto the bike so you don't fall off and videoing....the instagram influencer i am....not.
Just before you start the hike, there is a little shack, coffee shop where you can buy snacks, coconut water and rest up. This is also an ideal spot to fly the drone. I hadn't realized there were so many waterfalls down there, if you pull up the map or read up on it, the other waterfalls are not mentioned or shown. As I went up higher I got the lay of the land and was amazed to see so many waterfalls in close proximity.
Once I got down there, was able to visit each waterfall and it was just stunning, the sheer energy and the cool water was great to soak in to escape the heat as the sun was coming up. The hike back up wasn't as bad as the one Tumpak Sewu.
As usual, the TheDopamineHunter Larger Detailed version
