Curug Goa Lumut - Entrance Fee 10K

On Saturday morning, I woke up earlier than usual because I was really curious to see the beautiful waterfall that is said to be "mossy" and hidden. The journey from Jakarta takes about 1.5–2 hours, depending on traffic. As soon as I entered the TNGHS (Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park) gate, the atmosphere immediately changed: cool air, the scent of wet soil, and the sound of birds. After parking, I walked about 200-300 meters down stone steps, passing pine trees along the path, with a bit of dirt and rocky trail, but it wasn’t too challenging — perfect for families. When I arrived at Curug Goa Lumut, wow! The waterfall isn’t very tall, but the water is super clear, and you can even see the rocks at the bottom of the pool. The moss-covered rocks on the waterfall cliffs make the scenery feel even more natural and aesthetic. There’s a small cave behind the water flow that you can explore a bit (but be careful, it’s slippery and wet). I spent time lightly swimming at the edge of the pool, washing my feet, playing with the water while sitting on the rocks, enjoying the cold splashes of water mixed with the sound of trickling water and the rustling of pine leaves. For lunch, there’s a simple food stall in the waterfall area where I ordered rice, vegetable tamarind soup, and warm tea — very budget-friendly and warming after playing in the water. Before the evening arrived, I climbed up to a slightly higher photo spot — the view was amazing, with the silhouette of the waterfall against a backdrop of pine trees. The air started to dim, and the afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a dramatic effect perfect for photos. I went home with a bag full of photos and a sense of satisfaction from enjoying nature, without heavy trekking, and it’s safe for all ages. The entrance fee is very affordable, around Rp 10,000/person for the waterfall area + an additional fee for TNGHS access of about Rp 12,500/person (via the back gate).
