Air Terjun Tanggedu — Attraction in Kecamatan Kanatang

It's located at Ndayapami,Kanatang, East Sumba. The road is average good, but some bit rocky and bumpy. It's a small road. The weather was very hot when I arrived at Tanggedu Waterfall. It was October. From the parking area, you have to walk 2 km to reach the waterfall. You can take a motorcycle taxi for Rp 50,000 round-trip if you're not in the mood for walking.

But you still have to climb 200 steps. And you'll be rewarded with a beautiful and spectacular view. The water is crystal clear between the rocks. There are areas where swimming is prohibited. There are also areas where swimming is permitted. It's best to obey the instructions of the officers and local residents. They are more aware of the dangers. There are stalls selling young coconuts and various snacks around the waterfall.

Please take your trash with you. Don't leave any trash around the waterfall as there are no trash bins.

Let's protect, care for, and preserve our Sumba.

I love Sumba♡ Greetings from me, a visitor...

Go with 4WD car rent, it makes you secure. Because the road is not good enough for certain city car. Prepare with hiking shoes would be better, it makes you safety to hike n not hurting u'r feet. Be sure, if its rainy season.. avoid to this place, coz the water will be brown mixed with mud. But if you insist to go, its Ok you can find another spot above the water fall n trust me the water still crystal clear contradiction with the water below the waterfall. From parking lot, you will twice walking downhill an one time hiking. Back to parking lot, you will hiking twice and hiking one time. Oh forgot, make sure you have IDR 10k-20k/ person in your pocket to pay the villager for crossing their backyard.

Air terjun Tanggedu, Lokasinya bisa dicapai sekitar 2 jam perjalanan via mobil dari pelabuhan Waingapu + sekitar setengah jam perjalanan (jalan kaki) dari tempat parkir ke lokasi air terjunnya. Sekedar saran, kalau mau sewa mobil + sopir yaa, karena "you know lah", medan di NTT itu "lumayan" jadi kalau kamu cuma biasa bawa mobil di tempat yg lurus2 aja, mendingan jangan coba2 deh 😂 Disana ada banyak spot foto yg oke punya, karena pas perjalanan ke sana tuh ngelewatin bukit2 yg view nya juga oke, rumah2 penduduk yang khas,dll. Kita bisa renang di sana, karena ada kolam2 yg terbentuk secara alami dan cukup oke sih buat renang, tapi kalo renang / loncat ke air hati2 yaa, soalnya licin, arus airnya juga lumayan kenceng, n kata penduduk lokal sih beberapa Minggu yg lalu ada yg meninggal disana karena tergelincir dan terbentur batu pas beliau mau loncat dari atas bagian air terjunnya ((do'ain beliau sejenak yuk, semoga beliau diampuni segala kesalahan dan dosanya dan amal ibadah nya diterima. . . Aamiin)) Oiya, belum ada harga tiket masuk yg di patok sih, tapi nanti disana ada guide lokal yang bakal nemenin kita selama perjalanan dan kasih kita info tentang air terjun Tanggedu, trus kita mampir juga ke salah satu rumah penduduk buat ngisi buku tamu dan kasih kontribusi seikhlasnya, trus untuk parkir, kalau kesana naik mobil parkirnya 10k, kalo motor parkirnya 5k. Medan yg ditempuh selama perjalanan lumayan lah, jadi jangan lupa bawa air minum yaa, dan kalau mau renang/ main air juga jangan lupa bawa baju ganti biar gak masuk angin hehehe 😄 Oiyaa ... Disana belum ada listrik, dan jangan juga berharap dapet sinyal yaa 😅 Dan pastikan juga memory penyimpanan kamera kamu masih cukup banyak untuk menampung foto2 kenanganmu disana yg pastinya gak sedikit 😂 n jangan lupa charge juga hp/ kamera nya yaa, sayang banget kan kalo lg asik2 nya foto,...
