Munduk waterfall

There are still many places in Bali I have not yet discovered and explored despite the fact that I’ve been living is this sun, sea, surf island for about 9,5 years.

Munduk is same kind of the waterfall in bali, but the difference Munduk between the other like Tegenungan and Git git waterfall is Munduk still very hidden from the other tourism places in Bali.

If you are going up to North of Bali, to the highland village of Bedugul, that is famous with its Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bedugul) and Ulun Danu Temple on Beratan Lake, your journey can continue up to Buleleng, to the splash spot of the area : Munduk Waterfall. This is not only a visit to a beautiful waterfall place in Bali, but also a short hiking deep into the rain tropical forest of Munduk Village. Very recommended for Bali visitors after 4 or 5 days with skin tanning beach days and Seminyak night life, you should definitely schedule a day trip to Singaraja area.

Munduk is a quite village much different from the south of Bali area situated at 1,500 meters above sea level, at the Northen part of Bali, Buleleng. That’s 2 hours drive from Denpasar. After passing Ulun Danu Temple in Bedugul, turn left at Wanagiri Village, Munduk is about 5 km downhill from here. A special small parking lot next to a small ‘warung’ is available right on the steep hill road of Munduk village. Be careful when you cross the road as cars and motorbike are speeding up as they enter to an extreme up hill and down hill road at the same time, from 2 ways. Waiting for you crossing the road (slowwwly…) is almost impossible at that speed level.

The path way as you enter Munduk rain forest is a mix between natural trail road and paved way. You will have occasionally to share the small path with the villagers on motorbike.. Interesting hiking type!

You will be as happy as I was when the rainbow struck across the water right under the waterfall, leaving a shinning reflection on the river beneath it. Who wouldn’t be jaw dropped when you see this beauty of nature moment...

Munduk is very different and very nice trip to go there, because pass the jungle, village on the mount and village street.
enjoy the different nice trip in Bali to go Munduk Waterfall.

Tegenungan Waterfall

Bali-Sunday - Tegenungan is one of tourist places and destination in Bali, it is popular with waterfall ,although the best waterfall in bali is Twin Git Git waterfall, but thats far away from kuta or denpasar, anyway git git waterfall is on the way to go Bedugul temple or Lake Bratan (the 2nd biggest lake in Bali) and Singaraja Regency.
so, instead to see waterfall in git git, we can see tegenungan waterfall on the way to go Kintamani or Volcano /Lake Batur/ Mount Batur (the other name of Kintamani) because its better than we aren't visit the beautiful waterfall in bali yet.
below is the information about Tegenungan waterfall.

Tegenungan waterfall Located at Tegenungan Village, approx. 5 kilometres, south Tengkulak Kaja, south east Ubud.

Bali has a selection of waterfalls that are fun to visit such as Tegenungan waterfall, Git Git waterfall and Munduk waterfall. For many people the idea of hiking through the jungle to a hidden waterfall and taking a cooling swim is the image of paradise. These places definitely exist and here are some useful tips of how to find them and what to expect. Waterfalls are sharp drops along the course of a river. You will often have to hike up or down a river for a certain way to get to a waterfall, but the river provides a route for you to follow.

Rivers flow best during and immediately after the wet season, During that time you can expect waterfalls to be pumping and the pools at the bottom to be at their deepest. You can also expect more debris including rocks and the occasional log to come over the waterfall. Wet season means cloudy days in the highlands especially and after getting a soaking from the rain, the cold mountain water can be quite a shock. Bathing in a waterfall during the wet season may not feel like tropical paradise at first. During the dry season the weather is better, sunny and dry. However water flow is way less and pools will be shallow

The waterfall it self is not really that high. Only approximately 10-15 metres high. Cemented pathway, but quite steep to climb up back to the parking area.


how to get there : Tegenungan area is between Batuan Village (Painting area) and Mas Village (woodcarving area), so, when your travel agent take you to mas village, you can request to go tegenungan waterfall area,,, the view on the way there is also beautiful (rice terrace field).
