KLIK SAJA - If you’re craving a breathtaking natural escape that soothes the soul and awakens the senses, Curug Cikaso in Sukabumi is ready to satisfy your thirst for scenery and serenity.
Located in Kampung Ciniti, Cibitung Village, Surade District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia this stunning waterfall is officially named Curug Luhur, though locals and visitors alike lovingly refer to it as Curug Cikaso—a name that resonates more deeply in people’s hearts.
What makes Curug Cikaso truly unique is its trio of side-by-side waterfalls. From left to right, they are:
- Curug Aseupan, the widest stream on the left, cascading powerfully into the clear catchment pool below;
- Curug Meong, the central waterfall, which falls from a taller height and creates a soft, cat-like splashing sound as it hits the rocks—hence the name “Meong”;
- Curug Aki, the rightmost flow, hidden slightly behind a cliff, adding a touch of mystery and drama to the scene.
Together, these three waterfalls create a stunning 100-meter-wide curtain of water plunging from approximately 30 meters high into a pool of clear, turquoise-green water.
It’s a sight that refreshes your eyes and calms your mind all at once.
Although located about 200 kilometers from Jakarta, the journey to Curug Cikaso is half the adventure—and there are two exciting routes to choose from:
- By Motorboat: Rent a boat for IDR 80,000 (fits up to six people) and cruise along the Cikaso River while taking in the lush tropical forest and towering cliffs.
- On Foot: Trek approximately one kilometer along the rice paddies owned by local farmers. This peaceful path offers scenic views of coconut groves, rice fields, and the gentle soundtrack of nature.
Once you arrive at the bamboo dock, a short two-minute walk on a rocky trail through dense forest awaits.
As you approach, the sound of the waterfalls begins to grow louder, eventually breaking through the silence with a powerful roar.
Mist fills the air, and the cool breeze welcomes you to this secluded paradise.
Staring at the majestic landscape of Curug Cikaso, it feels as though you've stepped into another world—far removed from the chaos of the city.
The roar of water, the rustling leaves, and the earthy scent of the forest compose a natural symphony you won’t easily forget.
Touching the icy-cold water of the turquoise pool adds a magical finishing touch to your adventure.
Curug Cikaso isn’t just a travel destination—it’s nature’s invitation to refresh your spirit, thrill your sense of wonder, and craft unforgettable memories.
