MPV Holiday
Curug Tilu Waterfall
A forest-and-waterfall escape in Bandung’s cool western uplands.
West Bandung nature area
Curug Tilu in brief
Curug Tilu Waterfall is a cool nature stop in the Bandung uplands, visited for a short forest walk, flowing water and a break from urban sightseeing.
It is interesting for its quieter outdoor rhythm: the path, greenery and waterfall reward visitors who are prepared for uneven, sometimes wet ground.
Allow 1.5–3 hours for access, walking the trail, enjoying the falls and returning at a comfortable pace. Many travellers visit with an MPV Holiday private car rental or as part of a flexible Bandung tour package.
