It is about one hour drive from Lovina but it is definitely worth it. The car can be parked on the central parking lot and from there it is a hike of 20 minutes through the area. A few times the road goes up and down considerably, you will pass several warungs where you, if desired, can stop for a refreshing drink. Along the way you walk through a forest, look out over mountains and the beautiful nature, it is a sturdy but beautiful walk.
A visit to Sekumpul is not a standard visit to a waterfall, just like with Aling Aling you need to bring a guide with you, the local guide knows the area very well and can give you a lot of information about the area.
There are three types of tickets (prices are person):
1) IDR 20.000 only view of the waterfall and you can’t go down without a local guide.
2) IDR 150.000 this is a medium trekking including entrance fee, donation for the area, swimming at the waterfall, Sekumpul Waterfall and Hidden waterfall, local guide and insurance.
3) IDR 250.000 this is a long trekking including entrance fee, donation for the area, swimming at the waterfall, Sekumpul, Hidden and Fiji waterfall, local guide, fresh coconut and insurance.
There are several guides in the area, the one we contact if we have guests who want to do the trekking is Made, he is an experienced guide and knows the area very well as he has lived in the area all his life.
Made can be reached by WA, +62 878-6306-0101.
The trekking is a long walk with a lot of climbing and good walking shoes are recommended also swimming gear is definitely recommended because you can swim in the cool water. The long walk is worth it because it is a beautiful area.
It is a beautiful place but be aware of the huge number of stairs.
