Benang Kelambu and Benang Stokel Waterfall are another two of the best falls on the island of Lombok. Located in central Lombok Regency, approximately 1.5 hours from Senggigi.
This trip leads you to some of the most beautiful waterfalls with an altitude of 500 meters. It’s one of the cooler places to swim in lush, jungle surroundings.
There are two of the most popular waterfalls if you visit North Lombok, Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfall. This Waterfall is worth visiting if you want to explore Lombok Island.
How to get to Benang Kelambu and Benang Setokel waterfall
Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu are located in central Lombok Regency at Aik Berik village, in the North Batu Kliang district. Benang Stokel waterfall can be reached by car about 1.5 hours from Senggigi and 45 minutes from Tete Batu.
The Waterfalls are easy to navigate. In the rainy season, the track can be very slippery, so it will be great to bring shoes with a secure grip. I highly recommend traveling with an agency to support local travel agents.
