Tumpak Sewu waterfall lumajang is located in Lumajang  East Java, and is best visited from either Probolinggo or Malang. We recommend doing a Mount Ijen and Mount Bromo hike on your visit to East Java, either before or after visiting Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. You can combine it with other tour program such Surabaya/Malang Bromo Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Ijen Tour 4D3N.

Basically there are at least 3 available ways to get to this falls which are via Probolinggo, Surabaya & Malang. But I think the easiest alternative if you go there from Lumajang would be via Sidomulyo as the gate entrance can be clearly spotted from the main street.
