Heaptalk, Jakarta — Apart from a number of competitions, shows, and exhibitions in celebration of its 24th anniversary, West Kutai also offers several interesting tourist destinations, one of which is Jantur Inar Waterfall.
Located in Temula Village, Nyuatan District, this waterfall is a hidden natural wonder with its unspoiled beauty. Since the waterfall is in the middle of a dense forest, the natural atmosphere at Jantur Inar is well-preserved with lush trees and majestic rocks.
The height of Jantur Inar reaches almost 30 meters, making this waterfall an interesting natural tourist destination to explore in West Kutai. The rushing water flows from the top of the cliff and falls with a roar in the silence of the forest, creating a calming and soul-soothing atmosphere. This beauty attracts the attention of tourists who wish to escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life for a moment.
In addition to its beauty, the Jantur Inar Waterfall also has practical benefits for the surrounding community, one of which is as a source of irrigation for agriculture and fisheries in the surrounding area. Clear, oxygen-rich water provides good nutrition for plants and fish, thereby increasing crop yields and fisheries production. The flowing water fishing culture with high-density stocking is an effective choice for utilizing this natural wealth to advance the local fisheries sector.
