The waterfall is locally referred to as 'Niagara Mini' due to its distinct, wide, curtain-like formation.
The drop is approximately 12 meters, while the width spans about 25 meters, creating a concave shape.
The site is integrated into a wider recreational zone that includes man-made facilities like a waterpark.
Water from the Temam River is diverted into irrigation systems for local agriculture before and after the falls.
Air Terjun Temam is a 12-meter high, 25-meter wide curtain-style waterfall located in Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra. The waterfall forms a wide natural arc, often compared to a miniature version of Niagara Falls. It is fed by the Temam River and is situated within a designated recreation park. Visitors can access the base of the falls via concrete steps and a bridge. The site features amenities including picnic areas, a swimming pool, and viewing platforms. The water flow remains relatively stable year-round, though volume increases during the rainy season. The surrounding area is characterized by natural rock formations and tropical foliage. It serves as a primary local attraction for residents of South Sumatra.

Bring a change of clothes if you plan to enter the pool or get close to the spray.
Wear non-slip footwear as the area near the waterfall base remains perpetually wet and slippery.
Visit during the early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds from regional schools and family groups.
Do not swim directly beneath the waterfall cascade, as the water pressure and sharp submerged rocks pose safety risks.
Dress modestly as is standard in the South Sumatra region; avoid swimwear outside of the designated pool areas.
