Benang Kelambu & Benang Stokel Waterfalls — North Lombok Waterfall Day Tour

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear water shoes

Rocks near the falls are slippery; closed-toe grip shoes make swims and shoreline scrambling safer.

Start mid-morning

Tours often pick up around 9:00; arriving mid-morning gives softer light for photos and calmer pools for swimming.

Respect village stops

If your return includes rice terraces or a weaving village, ask before photographing and support local craft stalls when possible.

Bring a dry bag

Small waterproof bags protect phones and wallets during swims and sudden rain showers.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at nearby rice terraces for layered views and fewer crowds
  • Visit a hand-weaving Sasak village en route to see traditional ikat techniques

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Forest birds such as kingfishers and bulbuls

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife and limit single-use plastics — local communities rely on clean water and tourism that respects natural resources.

The falls lie in traditional Sasak territory; village weaving and rice cultivation in the area reflect centuries-old local practices tied to Rinjani’s watershed.
