The entrance ticket is very cheap, only 4,000 rupiahs. This ticket allows you to see Curug Nangka and two other waterfalls in the area, Curug Daun and Curug Kawung. There’s also a camping ground for nature lovers and anyone who wants to spend the night in the middle of the pine forest.

Although the Nangka waterfall is situated not too far from the entrance, the location is rather hidden. If you are new to this place, you may miss the spot and arrive at Curug Kawung waterfall instead.

The path to the top of Nangka waterfall is quite easy, even for children. But you must be careful if you want to go to the base, where you can get the best view. Besides having to walk down the steep cliff, you must also make sure the weather is sunny. Why ? Because the base of Nangka waterfall is surrounded by high cliffs with only one way out, which is quite dangerous if heavy rain comes and flood the river.

Once you get to the base, enjoy the beautiful view of Curug Nangka that will soothe your eyes and mind. The sensation of being in a narrow place surrounded by high, steep cliffs is also a great thing to experience.

Waterfalls are most commonly formed when a river is young.At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed.

Whirlpools created in the turbulence as well as sand and stones carried by the watercourse increase the erosion capacity. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it. The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year.
