Telun Berasap Falls

Telun Berasap is a waterfall situated in Kerinci Valley within a national park on Sumatra and drops approximately 50 meters down a rocky face. The water flows from a highland lake system above and creates a steady mist as it falls through the forest.

The falls became part of a protected national park created in the 1980s to safeguard the mountain ecosystems of the region. This designation has kept the area managed as a conservation zone since its establishment.

The waterfall's name comes from the constant mist rising from its base, and this feature shapes how local communities understand their relationship with this natural landmark. The water systems here are woven into stories that people pass down through generations.

The descent involves many stairs with rest areas built along the route, so wear sturdy shoes and allow time for the climb back up. An elevated viewing platform offers space to rest and to see the entire waterfall clearly.

The water originates from a highland lake and travels through multiple water bodies before cascading here, making this spot a junction in the regional water system. This interconnection of flowing water bodies along the descent offers insight into how water moves through these mountains.
