Tumpak Sewu Waterfall : 1 Day

We were picked up from our hotel in downtown Malang right on time, with a message from the driver the night before to confirm pick up time and location. The drive was smooth in a nice van with air conditioning and the driver was willing to stop whenever we needed for food or drink or washroom breaks. When we arrived at Tumpak Sewu, he pointed us in the right direction and we were on our way to the panoramic waterfall view. The walk there is paved and very easy, but from there, the trail becomes more difficult and requires relatively high fitness levels and the ability to climb down a stream with a rope. Don't try and keep your shoes dry, you will be crossing rivers and might as well just succumb to having wet feet, it will be safer that way. After we hiked back up, we were given time to get food and water before making the 15-minute drive to Kabut Pelangi waterfall. This hike was easier, but not as popular, so we had to go through some bush and across a river 3 times, but the waterfall is so worth it at the end. The only drawback to this whole tour was the traffic we encountered on the way back to Malang, but there really isn't anything that could have been done about it, since it was a Friday afternoon and it seemed everyone wanted to be back in Malang at the same time. If you want a private, unique waterfall experience, and are physically fit, I would highly recommend this tour to you.
