In the quiet corner of Cililin, nestled deep within the green hills of Gabus Girang, Karangtanjung, lies a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered: Curug Sawer a raw, untouched waterfall that speaks to the soul of every nature lover and adventure seeker.
Pure and Untouched Beauty
Unlike the mainstream tourist spots, Curug Sawer is still unknown to the general public. With no signboards, ticket booths, or commercial stalls, the experience here is refreshingly wild. The waterfall flows gently down rugged cliffs surrounded by dense foliage, creating a tranquil soundscape of rushing water, chirping birds, and rustling leaves.
The Journey to Reach It
Reaching Curug Sawer is part of the adventure itself. From Cililin’s town center, travelers must head to Gabus Girang Village in Karangtanjung. After arriving at the edge of the village, you’ll need to trek around 20–30 minutes on foot through narrow paths, local farms, and light forest areas. The route is natural, unpaved, and best suited for those who enjoy soft trekking.
What Awaits You
The waterfall is around 10–15 meters tall, with clear, fresh water cascading into a natural pool below. Smooth rocks and shaded trees make the area perfect for relaxation, meditation, or simply dipping your feet in the cool stream. You won’t find crowds here just the sounds of nature and the thrill of discovering a place that very few have explored.
