Most Spectacular Waterfall in West Reok Manggarai
Most Spectacular Waterfall in West Reok Manggarai
Discover Tengku Siwa Waterfall in West Reok Sambor Manggarai - one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Flores, 25m high with 10m wide curtain, surrounded by lush jungle.
Many people confuse it with Tengku Lese (Cunca Lega), but Tengku Siwa Waterfall is a totally different waterfall - more remote, more spectacular, and considered one of the best waterfalls in Flores.
Tengku Siwa waterfall is one of the best waterfalls in Flores even in Indonesia, located in West Reok (Sambor) Subdistrict, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The waterfall is surrounded by tropical forests. It is 25m in height with a width of approximately up to 10 meters. The waterfall stream can go large in the rainy season while small in dry season.
Why Tengku Siwa is Special:
1. Most Spectacular Curtain Waterfall
Tengku Siwa Waterfall is probably one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Flores. In a lush valley hidden behind dense jungles, flows a waterfall that cascades down from a tall cliff like a curtain of light. Unlike tall narrow falls, this one is 10 meters wide - like a natural curtain.
2. Off The Beaten Path Adventure
This green oasis is located a bit further from Labuan Bajo (2.5h by motorbike) and might require a stay-over in the nearby village of Ruteng/Reo. The way to get there is absolutely really extreme - but travelers say: "I have seen so many waterfalls, but this waterfall is still the best" and "really enjoy it and really satisfied although the way is extreme." Access to enter is still difficult, try to come during rainy season for big water volume.
3. Legend Behind The Beauty
Behind its breathtaking beauty lies the tragic tale of a young man who fell victim to jealousy and betrayal - Siwa, the handsome young man. Local legend makes it more mystical.
How to Visit:
Located in West Reok, Manggarai - east of Reo town. Need local guide from Sambor village. Requires jungle trekking. Best combined in a 4-day Flores tour package: Tengku Siwa + Komodo Nature Trail. Road is steep.
For real waterfall chasers who want Flores' hidden gem beyond Cunca Wulang & Cunca Rami!
