These breathtaking waterfalls are located near a small village in the Rejang Lebong Regency in Bengkulu province. This location includes a main waterfall, naturally fed hot water pool that you can relax in, and several other smaller hot and cold waterfalls.

Make your way up the majestic hills, passing rich vegetable plantations to the trailhead. Beginning as a small dirt road, the trail eventually becomes a small path winding through coffee and palm sugar plantations. After an easy walk, arrive at your campsite for lunch. After lunch, enjoy taking a dip in a warm hot spring-fed swimming hole next to the campsite.

After a bite to eat and some rest, you will continue on to Beringin Tiga waterfall, about 250m from your campsite. The hike has springs coming out of the walls as you descend down a steep embankment and enjoy the beautiful scenery before returning to the campsite to rest or soak again in the natural “hot tub” close by.

Spend the night near the falls, either in tent or a local guesthouse run by the village. Take you time exploring all the waterfalls (6 large ones and tons of small ones). Visit a few of the waterfalls we rarely visit since you have the time. Go bird watching, giant fruit bat watching (can’t miss them), or learn about how to traditionally process palm sugar. And if all else fails, just take another dip in the hotsprings with your favorite book.

  • We take a 4WD truck into the plantations to the base camp near the falls.
  • The hike down to the biggest falls is a pretty steep walk on a very established trail, with steps built into the side of the gorge.
  • Food is very traditional local fare. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, if you let us know ahead of time.
  • Also, as it is a rainforest, expect and prepare for rain at some point during your trek, no matter what season you’re travelling in.
  • The guide and porters will carry all camping equipment, like tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, food, and the like. All you need to carry is your own clothing, toiletries, and whatever other personal items you want to bring into the jungle.
  • FOR OVERNIGHTS: No comfy accommodations here! You’ll be sleeping rough in tents, with very thin camping mattresses.
  • Like all of our trips, you travel at your own risk. Keep in mind that you are visiting a wild and extremely remote area of rural Sumatra, with wild animals and other dangers that come from being in a natural landscape. Quality medical care is also very far away. It’s your responsibility to make sure you are covered with valid travel and medical insurance.

  • A quality pair of hiking shoes or even better Tevas or other sport water sandals
  • Swimsuit (for women please plan to wear a rash-guard and shorts over suit)
  • Your own water bottle, to cut down on single-use plastics.
  • Insect repellent.

For Overnight camping:

  • A headlamp, especially if you want to take any night walks.
  • A waterproof jacket in case it rains, and to keep you warm in the chilly evenings and mornings.

Fly into Bengkulu (BKS) airport and get picked up and prepared to embark on a 3.5 hour drive to Beringin Tiga. Lubuk Linggau airport (LLJ) is much closer, only about 1.5 hours from the falls. Price includes a local guide, transport from Curup to and from the falls, lodging  (for overnight option), permits, tickets, and food. Price per person reduced with more than two travelers.

As always, we use only local guides and porters from nearby communities, who are paid a fair, ethical wage above the standard local price. One hundred percent of money spent on this trek stays in this rural community – there’s no tourism leakage here!
