Sirah Kencong Waterfall is a secluded natural site situated within the mountainous tea plantation area of Wlingi, Blitar. The waterfall is fed by mountain springs that cascade down rock faces surrounded by dense, humid forest greenery. It is located at an elevation of approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, contributing to a cooler climate compared to the surrounding lowlands. The site is characterized by its quiet, rustic environment away from major urban centers. Visitors reach the waterfall via a walking trail that winds through the periphery of the Sirah Kencong Tea Garden.
