Tangkub Waterfall: A Hidden Gem in Undisan Village

Tangkub Waterfall, a hidden gem in Undisan Village, began to gain recognition among locals in 2016. The story started when a group of young people from Undisan Village went fishing near the waterfall. They shared their experience on social media, which quickly caught the attention of other locals and young adventurers. Since then, the community has worked together to open access to the waterfall. Interestingly, in some places, the waterfall is also known as “Krisik.” Recently, the villagers have joined forces to improve the pathway to the waterfall, aiming to enhance accessibility and attract more visitors, not only from Undisan but also from neighboring villages and even internationally.

To reach Tangkub Waterfall, the journey starts from Bale Banjar, covering a distance of approximately 750 meters. The trail is quite steep, making it less suitable for children or the elderly. However, for those who enjoy tracking or nature exploration, this route offers an exciting and rewarding experience. The newly constructed footpath, created by the local community, leads visitors through a serene and pristine natural environment.

Upon arriving at the site, visitors will follow a stream that winds through towering and majestic canyons. After walking about 50 meters, they will reach the stunning waterfall, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere. This location is perfect for resting, enjoying the scenery, or even meditating. Since the site was only discovered by local youths in 2016, not many tourists are aware of its existence, making it one of the most natural and exclusive spots to explore.

In the future, the local community has high hopes for improving the access route to the waterfall. Enhancements such as stairways, handrails, or safer paths are expected to make the site more accessible for visitors of all ages, including children and the elderly. With better facilities, it is hoped that the number of visitors will continue to grow, providing greater economic benefits to the local community while promoting Tangkub Waterfall as one of the region’s premier tourist destinations.
