From a glance, you might think that this waterfall is man-made, judging from the pool on the bottom of it. But Curug Bidadari is actually a natural waterfall within the Sentul Paradise Park. Unlike some of the other waterfalls in this list that are a little bit more challenging to get to, this waterfall is obviously very easy to reach, perfect for worry free excursion with the whole family.
5. Curug Panjang
Another favorite for families as this waterfall features a less steep climb and some smaller ‘kiddy’ pools, although the rocky and muddy terrain can be slippery when wet. To reach the area, head to Puncak and turn left at the end of the toll road (Mega Mendung junction), and follow the sign that leads to Curug Panjang. In addition to the waterfall, there is also camping ground and fishing ponds.
