This nature delight fall, in fact, is a group (Sekumpul means “a bunch” in Indonesian) of 7 waterfalls plunging down from the various heights, with the tallest one being 80 m high.

Framed in green bamboo forests, the close up of this waterfall requires a bit of adventure though as you cross the dirty paths, slippery steps and a river.

Although, the effort is worth as you catch the bird’s eye view of the majestic fall from the distance as well as the top.

Adrenaline junkies can rouse their hiking skills by trekking down to the rock pool to dive in a natural swimming pool. Plus, here you’ll get some great photo op too.

Kanto Lampo Waterfall

Named after a local fruit-bearing tree, Kanto Lampo Waterfall is a mini scenic seasonal waterfall located in the village of Beng.

What’s most appealing about this lovely waterfall is its water flows down against the multi-layer unique foundation of stepping boulders.

This picturesque spot is beautifully shaped by the rock cliffs and you can even ask onsite people for few tips to get the best angle photos.

As this is the seasonal waterfall, you can see high water volume during the rainy season after heavy rainfall and a shallow wading pool at the base.

Besides being glorious in visuals, this waterfall is fairly reachable by stairs so if you’re not in those adventure shoes, don’t worry.

You’ll not find this place much crowded but still gets a little bit busy in midday. For the best shots and a peaceful sitting over the rocks, make sure you check in early to get the best out of this enchanting site.

Tibumana Waterfall

Tibumana waterfall, covered in luscious rainforests and fluttering butterflies and birds surely deserve a space in our list of magical Bali waterfalls.

Though the fall is relatively small, the serene beauty of this island’s secret is something beyond the imagination that is enough to charm many tourists.   

In fact, the pathway to reach the cascade holds people as they listen to bird’s sounds and the rumble of fall in a 10-min walk across the bamboo bridge.

Furthermore, it’s best for you to swim since the plunge pool at the bottom is usually calm and pleasant having pretty green cliffs on sides.

During the wet season, the water flows into two columns, otherwise, there’s a single stream of wonder-fall.

Getting here is just half an hour drive from Ubud and in a way, you’ll be amazed by the lined palm trees and adorable rice fields. 

Bring a camera, because I bet you would die for capturing moments!

The journey to this place is utmost panoramic through the green rice fields and lush plantations around an hour from the Ubud and 45 km ride from Denpasar.

Getting there is really a tough task though as you must descent over 500 steep steps to get to the fall.

Though, once you make it to the gorge, you’ll feel the effort is well worth to see the sight of 50-meter-tall waterfall thundering into the pool.

Stop to any of the wooden gazebos to catch your breath and cherish the spectacular vistas of rushing water against a dense green valley.

Banyumala Twin waterfall

Hidden away in the opulent hills of Wanagiri district to the north of Lake Buyan, this is one of the waterfalls in Bali that’s harder to find.

Banyumala Twin waterfall purely justifies the name because there are two water streams pouring against the steep rocks ornate with the jungle greenery and colorful flowers.

Going down to the falls is slightly a difficult trek through the bamboo trails and concrete steps, but it’s certainly paying off your effort when you reach the foot of the falls.

Although I would advise hiring a local guide to show you the area and help with the slippery paths of the waterfall.

Take a refreshing dip into the cool and clear water of the shallow hole underneath the falls while celebrating the rejuvenation fully amidst the rich greens.

Tourists barely come here, so it’ll not be difficult to find your own space of enjoyment!

Located near Singaraja in north Bali, Aling Aling waterfall is the most suited spot for the nature lovers and thrill-seekers.

Whether you choose to slide on natural water slides, exciting cliff jumping or shower beneath the falls, all are absolutely adrenaline-pumping.

However, a guide is mandatory to make sure your safety during these adventures onsite.

Walk on a set of the well-maintained path and concrete steps that will lead you to the fall with care as they become slippery when wet.

The whole site makes sense when you catch a stunning split of river water flowing down from a great height between the cliffs into the sacred pool.

Additionally, Aling Aling also includes 3 other different waterfalls nearby to explore exciting cliff-jumping from various heights.

A 1 km hiking trail to the fall is not at all easy as you have to be careful of slippery rocks. However, it’ll look worthy when you reach to the amazing cascade.

What’s more, you can jump into the plunge pool below or if you’re not so fond of swimming then simply sit on the cliffs admiring sensational vision.

Due to its remote location, it rarely gets few visitors and so gives a nice relaxing break.
