“Isolated Waterfall”

Sidoharjo Waterfall

Reviewed January 10, 2015

I visit this waterfall in order to end my trip after going to suroloyo. Well I got a little disappointed because actually this waterfall could be a great waterfall, but some local citizen block the stream from above for their irigation causing the water shortage on the waterfall, and the road to this waterfall is still in natural condition, no sign of affection from local government to make this waterfall become a good tourist spot. the waterfall itself doesn't has entrance fee, but you must pay to park at some local citizen house near the waterfall
