Madakaripura waterfall
A spectacular sight secluded within the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park: the enchanting Madakaripura Waterfall. Hidden at the end of a deep valley near Mt. Bromo. It is a 20 minutes walk crossing rivers and a rocky path, set amongst beautiful sceneries along the way. An atmosphere of natural grandeur radiates around as the waterfall comes into view. As the rumbling sounds of water grows louder, a spellbinding feature of water curtains cover the path, that will not only please the eyes but also freshen body and soul.
Madakaripura Waterfall is dubbed as the tallest waterfall in Java (200 meters) and the second tallest waterfall in Indonesia. Only the Sigura-gura Waterfall near Lake Toba in North Sumatra is taller. Decorated with huge boulders, endlessly falling water, and sparkling moss, one only needs to gaze up to the distant sky and immerse oneself in the spellbinding beauty of nature.
According to ancient Javanese 14th century epic poem, Madakaripura was a piece of land given to Commander Gajah Mada by the Majapahit King Hayam Wuruk. Gajah Mada himself is the most celebrated military commander in the history of the great Javanese Majapahit Kingdom that thrived between 1293 to 1500AD. It is said that the source of his overwhelming power and abilities lie within the cave of the Madakaripura Waterfall, where Gajah Mada frequently came to meditate. The great commander eventually chose the place as his last place for mediation before he was believed to have been “Muksha”, or vanished spiritually and physically from the face of the earth.
