Umbul Waru waterfall is located in Sidomulyo
village, Bakung District, Blitar Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. The
location is around 32 km from the city center of Blitar and can be traveled in
1.5 hours to reach the beach.
Umbul Waru Beach, where the Umbul Waru waterfall is
located, can be said to offer a complete package, especially for those who love
marine tourism. Starting from fine white sand, beautiful flowing waterfalls,
majestic towering cliffs, it's all here. The height of the waterfall itself is
no less than 80 meters.
The Umbul Waru waterfall does have a very exotic
natural panorama, because the waterfall plunges directly into the sea, but it
is still relatively empty of visitors, perhaps this is because access to the
Umbul Waru waterfall is very difficult to get through. Moreover, there is still
minimal signage, you have to often ask local residents if you don't want to get
lost here.
If you are coming from the city of Blitar, follow
the directions to Kademangan until you reach the T-junction on the Kademangan
bridge, turn left following the directions to Tambakrejo. About 10 meters you
will meet the Gawang intersection (if you go straight south to Tambak Beach)
turn right following the directions to Jalan Trisula, about 3 km you will meet
the T-junction, turn left following the instructions to the Tirtogaluh
waterfall tourist attraction.
After that, follow the paved road until you reach
the last T-junction then turn left following the directions to Pangi beach. Then
follow the directions to Sidomulyo Village and after arriving at the Sidomulyo
village office, from here turn right then follow the sign for the Umbul Waru
waterfall which has been installed from the Sidomulyo Village office. If in
doubt, don't hesitate to ask local residents.
However, on the journey after the last village, we
will be tested on a fairly challenging road, we will pass several hills which
have a road 1 meter wide and can only be passed by motorbike for 3 km. The
rocky road goes up and down small hills and the heat and heat of the sun will
always accompany you on your journey to Umbul Waru beach.
Umbul Waru beach and waterfall are still quiet due
to the difficult terrain of the journey. This location has been marked on
Google Maps and there is no charge to go to the beach following the Umbul Waru
waterfall, all it's free
