Following a one-hour drive from Bogor’s city centre, this waterfall offers a scenic escape from the bustling city life. The waterfall is located within an area that also includes camping grounds and other hike trails, and you will have to flex your calf muscles for a bit to get here.
Generally, you will not veer too much from big, well-maintained roads when heading towards this site. Only for the latter quarter of the trip that you will go through a one-lane road, which would not be a problem for bikers. The road has lots of very steep inclines with unprotected edges so make sure your driver is experienced enough.
To reach the waterfall you will need to pass a motorcycle parking area, then the camping grounds, before reaching the stairs. If you use a motorcycle or bike, you will be able to drive uphill towards the motorcycle parking area and even the camping grounds. However, if you use a car, you will have to park near the entrance to the grounds and hike to the motorcycle parking area. Personally, I would say the hike from the parking spot to the camping grounds is the most energy-consuming, and takes half of the total trek time, so if you use a motorcycle you can let the engine work for you and save at least half of your energy.
The proceeding hike is not too tough compared to the former portion, and you will pass through preserved forests until you reach the stairs, which lead downwards to the waterfall. The stairs are etched on the side of a hill so you can enjoy the view of the valley while making your descent. The steps are pretty steep, but you can hold onto the bamboo railing with no problem.
As soon as you reach the bottom, you will reach the area that contains Curug Ciampea, the Green Lagoon, and a smaller waterfall which name I forgot (sorry). Some small shops are also open which sell drinks and snacks, so you can take your time in the area. Luckily, not a lot of people visit despite the relatively better access compared to other waterfalls.
The waterfall itself is one of the most beautiful and exotic waterfalls that I have visited. As you get near, a cool breeze from the crashing water overwhelms you and makes you feel as if you have escaped all your problems. One of my biggest regrets is that I did not prepare extra clothes and a towel to go for a swim in the pool at the base of the waterfall. The stream water is very clean and fresh as well so make sure you drink a lot of it.
The total hike to-and-back would take around 40 minutes, so make sure you prepare your eyes for a scenic route. Also, you will need to pay 22k per person upon entry to the area in addition to parking fees which is not much different, but I can assure you that this will feel extremely cheap compared to...

First time visiting, and it was a nice experience. The place feels calm and peaceful, mostly because of the sound of the waterfalls. There are two of them, and the vibe is really chill.
The journey to get there was a bit far, and we did bump into a group of monkeys along the way. Just stay cool, don’t panic, and don’t bother them. they’ll mind their own business.
Theres still some trash around which is a bit annoying, but overall the place is worth a visit. And if you’re worried about going hungry, no need there are places to buy food and...

Ticket khusus tracking ke curug bayar 22500/org aja. Yg mau camp ga bawa tenda bisa sewa tenda 130-150k/malam, udah tinggal tidur aja, d pnjamin kompor utk masak. Bisa sewa hammock 15k, sedia kayu bakar juga. Harga warung masih masuk akal, tidak ad getok harga. Jadi yg ga mau berat2 bawa makanan, cukup sediakan uang bs beli d warung.
Utk parkiran khusus nge camp dkt gerbang bawah. Bayar rgistrasi dsna. Khusus ke curug bisa parkir di atas, tp jalan sgt terjal, tgantung motornya bs nanjak atau gak. Ga bs boncengan ke atas. Jalan lumayan utk olahraga.seru.
