Bali’s Pura Luhur Batukaru – A Temple Visiting Guide

  • January 29, 2025

  • Bali

Pura Luhur Batukaru was one of our favorite hidden gems in Bali – an important Hindu temple that is truly immersed in nature, surrounded by lush forests, stone carvings covered in moss, and built on the slopes of Mount Batukaru (a currently inactive volcano and the second most prominent peak on Bali). It’s somewhat off the beaten track, making it a great attraction to visit while escaping the crowds found at other temples. To help you plan your visit and...

Despite its small size, Bali is a land of a hundred waterfalls. One of the best places from which to explore many of them is Ubud, Bali’s cultural capital, whose location makes it the perfect base from which to explore many of the island’s waterfalls. In this guide on Bali’s Best Waterfalls Near Ubud, we will focus on our favourite waterfalls that are within about an hour’s drive of Ubud, but will also mention a few others that might also...

Bali's Gembleng Waterfall

Bali’s Gembleng Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

Gembleng is definitely a unique waterfall experience in Bali. The waterfalls themselves are usually the attractions in Bali, but at Gembleng it’s rather a series of small pools at the top of the waterfall that are the attraction. The first pool in particular is the main draw as it provides visitors with an infinity-like pool experience with a jaw-dropping jungle view ahead. It’s definitely a must-visit if you are in nearby Sidemen or touring east Bali. To help you plan...

Bali's Tukad Cepung Waterfall

Bali’s Tukad Cepung Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

  • January 21, 2025

  • Bali

Tukad Cepung is one of Bali‘s most popular waterfalls – to the point where it gets ridiculously busy and long waiting lines can form to take pictures with the falls. This is because the falls are located in a cave-like ravine, meaning that you can’t really see the falls until you are in the cave itself and, for this reason, Tukad Cepung was probably our least favorite waterfall to visit in Bali. Fortunately, the walk to reach the waterfalls was...

Bali Yeh Bulan Waterfall

Bali’s Yeh Bulan Waterfall (Toyo Bulan) – A Visiting Guide

  • January 20, 2025

  • Bali

Yeh Bulan Waterfall is our favorite waterfall location to visit in Bali. This might surprise you if you haven’t heard much about it before, but that’s because the waterfall only became accessible to the public in 2023. Yeh Bulan translates to “water moon”, and you will definitely feel like you visited an otherworldly place after stopping to explore the falls. The location features not one but two stunning waterfalls in the middle of the jungle, and can only be accessed...

Bali’s Goa Raja Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

Goa Raja is one of Bali‘s most unique and picturesque waterfalls—a tall curtain of water cascading into a large grotto (in fact, Goa Raja means “The King’s Cave”). If that wasn’t enough to convince you, the path to the falls is equally impressive as you walk through a scenic narrow canyon following a gentle river with lush jungle vegetation all around. Goa Raja was definitely one of our favorite falls to visit in Bali. There’s also a small manmade pool for...

Bali’s Taman Sari Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

Taman Sari is one of Bali‘s most unique waterfalls. It’s a stunning two-tiered waterfall, with the first portion being a single curtain that drops into a small natural pool, from which several cascades fall into a much larger natural pool. Of all the falls in Bali, Taman Sari is one of the best ones for enjoying a swim due to the size and depth of its bottom natural pool. Although it is gaining popularity, Taman Sari is not one of...

Bali’s Suwat Waterfall

Bali’s Kanto Lampo Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

  • January 16, 2025

  • Bali

Kanto Lampo is definitely one of the most beautiful and impressive waterfalls that Bali has to offer, but that beauty definitely comes at a price. It’s also one of the busiest and most crowded waterfalls (along with Tukad Cepung), with hordes of tourists wanting to get their Instagram moment with the falls. Despite this drawback, we still think it’s worth visiting if you adjust your expectations since it’s very close geographically to several other waterfalls, and it’s only about a...

Bali’s Suwat Waterfall

Bali’s Suwat Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

  • January 14, 2025

  • Bali

Suwat Waterfall (also known by its Indonesian name Air Terjun Suwat) is one of Bali‘s best-kept secrets – a true hidden gem that was only made accessible to tourists in 2019. Few group tours make their way here meaning that these falls don’t get anywhere near the crowds that some other nearby ones get. Much like its quasi-neighbour Tibumana Waterfall, Suwat Waterfall is a narrow photogenic cascade that falls into an idyllic natural pool that’s great for swimming. It is...

Bali's Tibumana Waterfall

Bali’s Tibumana Waterfall – A Visiting Guide

Tibumana Waterfall is without a doubt one of Bali‘s most photogenic waterfalls. Hidden in a jungle valley, a 5-meter-high thin curtain of falls gently cascades into an idyllic natural pool from which you can enjoy a relaxing swim. A bonus to the visit is the short yet scenic walk required to reach the falls from the car park, where you’ll walk over beautiful bamboo bridges. Although its popularity is increasing, it’s definitely not as busy as some of Bali’s other...
