Citambur falls is a 100 meter waterfalls that takes a little more than 3 hours drive away from Bandung through tea plantations of Rancabali in a regency of Cianjur.

Photography Tips

The scenic site is ideal for wedding, portrait and landscape photography. We came here on August in the afternoon and the sun sets directly in front of the fall. Consult your photography apps for sunset direction.

On the way to the site from Bandung, you will drive through the middle of large tea plantations on which there will be multiple landscape spots within Rancabali area.

It's best to arrive here after 3 PM to scout and wait for the best lights.

For portrait shots:
- Near a rock on the hill under the large tree, shoot the model with long telephoto lens from under the hill near the bridge/sign towards the right path. On a good time in the afternoon, golden light rays will penetrate through the tree into your model which you can later exaggerate in post.
- On the edge of the hill next to waterfall has a bamboo rails for model shooting.

2nd Visit in April 2019:
Best time to visit as after the rainy season the waterfall displays its full power and beauty!

Travel Information

We traveled here at the wrong time of the year in August which is still a dry season. The waterfall then was only 1/3rd the size of what it should be, so we focused more on portrait photography instead.

For landscape photography, try to visit during the monsoon season from September through March where the falls will exhibit the most of it's beauty in lush greens and its beautiful show of power.

From Bandung, leave at around 11 PM on a leisure drive to give you an ample time when you should arrive on site at around 3 PM.

Follow Waze/Google map to "Air Terjun Citambur" or Curug Citambur. Waze will overshoot the location on the map, so towards the end of the waze direction, watch for the large welcome sign and gate to your right. You won't miss it.

From the gate, you will pass through a small deep emerald colored lagoon with one good looking long dead tree, which on a second thought now, I should have parked my car and take a long exposure shot.

Entry per person is RP10,000 (around 50 cents) per person and a little boy will come to collect a Rp 5000 parking fee when you park your car. It's only 100 meters easy walk to the waterfall from the car park.
