Curug Cipendok is a waterfall in the southern part of Central Java. It is in Cilongok Banyumas (district), near the village of Karang Tengah, about 25 km (16 mi) from Purwokerto. The dramatic 92-metre (302 ft) falls are considered a major attraction and are very popular with tourists.[citation needed] The area also hosts a campsite and a large lake. The waterfall is 500 metres (1,600 ft) away from a parking area, through a tropical forest.
The depth reaches 25 metres (82 ft), with temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F).[1]
The road to the waterfall is lined with celery plantations and stalls selling tempeh, pure milk, tomatoes, and peppers. In addition, many small rivers run along the road.
