javaprivatetour.com – If you think you’ve seen all the waterfalls Bogor has to offer—think again. While places like Curug Leuwi Hejo or Curug Bidadari often steal the spotlight, there’s a lesser-known paradise quietly waiting in the highlands of Sukamakmur: Curug Walet. This is the kind of place that doesn’t show up in mainstream travel guides, and that’s exactly what makes it so special.
The Untouched Beauty of Curug Walet
Where Exactly Is Curug Walet?
Curug Walet is nestled in Desa Wargajaya, Sukamakmur, part of the scenic Bogor Regency. To get there, most adventurers pass through the nearby and slightly more popular Curug Cipamingkis. From there, it’s a short trek deeper into nature—one that rewards you with peace, privacy, and the pure sound of falling water.
What Makes Curug Walet So Special?
Unlike most commercial waterfalls, Curug Walet doesn’t come with ticket booths, loudspeakers, or food vendors. What it does have is crystal-clear water, towering cliffs, and lush greenery. You’ll also notice why it’s called “Walet”—local legend says this area used to be home to flocks of swiftlets nesting on the cliffs. Whether or not you spot one, the natural echo of the waterfall bouncing through the canyon walls is a treat for the senses.
To reach the falls, you’ll need to do a 20–30 minute trek through a mix of jungle paths and rocky trails. It’s not extreme, but it’s enough to get your heart pumping. And believe us—the reward at the end is worth every step.
Is It For Everyone?
Let’s be honest. If you’re expecting built-in toilets, snack bars, or Instagram swings, this might not be your thing. But if you’re craving a little solitude, raw nature, and something to brag about that *isn’t on the typical tourist map*, then Curug Walet is your kind of adventure.

Tips Before You Go
What to Bring
- Comfortable trekking shoes or sandals with grip
- Change of clothes and a towel
- Drinking water (stay hydrated!)
- Waterproof bag or dry bag for gadgets
- Camera or GoPro if you’re into capturing raw beauty
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to September), when the path is safer and the water clearer. Avoid rainy days unless you enjoy slippery trails and sudden streams!
How to Get There – With a Private Twist
From Jakarta, it’ll take you roughly 2–3 hours by car depending on traffic. The easiest route is heading toward Jonggol, then turning off toward Cipamingkis. Since public transport is very limited, we recommend using a private car or chartered vehicle. You’ll need someone who knows the way—literally.
This is where having a knowledgeable, English-speaking local guide makes all the difference. Someone who knows the turns, the trails, and even the best spots for a jungle picnic.
