Kilwun and Sesere Waterfalls: Hidden waterfalls near Benang Stokel – Lombok

Kilwun and Sesere Waterfalls: Hidden waterfalls near Benang Stokel – Lombok

Kilwun Waterfall and Sesere Waterfall are two secret waterfalls that require a bit of local know-how to discover. They are “secret” waterfalls as both falls are located slightly off the main trail in the popular Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu Waterfalls Geopark in North Lombok.

How to find Kilwun Waterfall and Sesere Waterfall

If you don't have a local guide and rely on the maps and boards, it will be difficult to find Kilwun Waterfall and Sesere Waterfall. While both are marked on the overhead map, there is no signage indicating the correct route.

The best directions you will find is to take the path from Benang Stokel waterfall to Benang Kelambu, passing the banana plantations. After passing a few food and tourist stalls, about three quarters of the way along you will see a small, non-obvious path leading to the left. Remember that there are two of these unsigned paths, the first one you see is not the correct path. Walk past this one and continue a little further until you see the next one just after a small descent.

The path quickly becomes steep and leads down to Kilwun and Sesere waterfalls. If you're walking on a flat, windy path through banana fields, you've taken the wrong path.

The path down is steep and sandy. It's definitely not set up like the other main waterfalls here. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to slide down, so hold on tight.

After descending you will reach a small flowing stream. Here you can hear the Kilwun Waterfall rushing around the corner. You can either descend further into the valley below where you will find Sesere Waterfall. Or if you follow the stream bend to the right you will reach Kilwun Waterfall.

I told you they were secret. If you're not confident about finding it yourself, I'd recommend getting a local guide. Alternatively, you can book this WATERFALL DAY TOUR which includes a trip to these waterfalls including transportation.

Kilwun Waterfall

Of all the five waterfalls in this area, Kilwun Waterfall is my personal favorite. It is a small 11-meter waterfall in a lush, narrow gorge. The water crashes hard into a knee-high pool that cascades gently down the mountain, ending at Sesere Waterfall.

We spent a good 30 minutes admiring this waterfall and taking a few photos of the warm rays of light making their way through the dense tree line.

Sesere waterfall

As mentioned, if you continue down the secret, steep path, after about 5 minutes you will reach Sesere Waterfall.

Sesere is another smaller, thinner waterfall. However, it is a good place to cool off as it has a pool deep enough to lie in. However, it's not deep enough to jump or really swim. Since the current is not as strong as the others, you can also stand under the rock and treat yourself to a natural waterfall massage.
