A mini version of Niagara Falls
The name is Curug Malela (Malela Waterfall). This beautiful waterfall
located in the village named Cidadas. Cidadas is a village in Bandung. In this
area, the fields contour much like a staircase. The waterfall is not as wide as
Niagara Falls, the Malela waterfall’s width is only 50 meters, but a lot of
people call it a mini version of Niagara Falls.
Malela waterfall has a height of about 70 meters. The water sources
are from the north of Kendeng Mountain. The water is heavy and is divided into
5 lanes. The scenery and atmosphere there are very beautiful. If you lucky
there, you could seeing some monkeys drinking water in Malela waterfall. It is
a view which you can’t get even in Niagara Falls.
Although the Malela waterfall is potential for tourism, but it is
still lack of facilities and infrastructures. One and only road access to get
there is very narrow and difficult to passing through. You have to walk around
1 Km to the reach the location of the waterfall. There are two routes to the
waterfall Malela in Bandung, from sukabumi or from cimahi. If you choose from
Cimahi, it takes approximately 4 hours drive. The route is Cimahi ->
Batujajar -> Cihampelas -> Cililin ->Sindangkerta -> Rongga ->
Malela Waterfall. When you reach Cidadas, you have to be extra careful because
the road is rocky and some fairly steep climbs. After reaching the last
village, Dusun Manglid, you have to walk about 1 km along the road that has the
contour up and down. Near the Malela waterfall, there are several other
waterfalls. In the district of West Bandung, there are some pretty interesting
waterfalls such as Buana waterfall, Nyandung waterfall, and Cilinggapayung
waterfall.
