Benang Kelambu & Benang Stokel Waterfalls — North Lombok Waterfall Day Tour
Two accessible waterfalls north of Lombok offer a crisp day trip from Senggigi or Kuta: short walks, swimming holes and a glimpse of Sasak village life. This private tour bundles transport, guide service and entry to both Benang Kelambu and Benang Stokel.
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.

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.
