Best Waterfalls in Eastern Bali
Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Located in Jalan Tembuku Bali, Tukad Cepung waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls in Bali. It’s special because it cascades over the edge into a cave. And that cave can only be reached via a short walk through a deep canyon.
Whilst the water isn’t deep enough for swimming, you can stand ankle-deep in front of the falls.
The perfect spot for some photos. As well as on the boulder, just back from the falls
There is a 15k IDR entrance fee and a brief 15-minute hike down to the waterfall itself, through the canyon.
The best time to visit is early in the morning. A beautiful rainbow effect is created by sun rays through the opening on the cave roof.
Kanto Lampo Waterfall
Found in the Beng village in Gianyar is Kanto Lampo Waterfall. It’s a fairly “new” waterfall and because of this isn’t as crowded as some of the other waterfalls in the region. Therefore, making it one of the best waterfalls to visit in my opinion.
The entrance fee is just 10k IDR per person and the hike down to the waterfall is very pleasant with lush green jungles around you and colourful butterflies flying everywhere.
Kanto Lampo Waterfall is famous for its incredible view of water cascading down a stepped rock formation. Here the water is deep enough for you to have a dip, plus, the pressure from the waterfall is not strong, so you can get right under it for a natural shower.
Best Waterfalls in Central Bali
Nungnung Waterfall
Nungnung waterfall is a relatively less known waterfall in the region. Therefore making it the perfect location for those who are looking for a quiet and crowd-free waterfall experience.
It is a bit more challenging to reach compared to other waterfalls. But that is exactly what makes it special!
There are roughly 500 steps down and therefore back up, so be prepared. However, if you are a nature lover, you won’t mind the hike down. It is surrounded by lush jungle creating scenic views. Plus plenty of places to stop on the way back up.
The entrance fee at Nungnung Waterfall is just 10k IDR for locals and 20k IDR for foreigners.

Being an extremely popular waterfall, the entrance fee here is 50k per person. Which in comparison to other waterfalls can seem quite expensive. However, it only converts to less than $5aud

Once you reach the waterfall you will understand why it attracts so many visitors every day.It is much higher than you would expect. Which creates a feeling of calm and peace in the area.

One of the coolest things about the Git Git waterfall is that it is high in the mountains. This makes it an ideal location for all the photography enthusiasts out there.

Situated just a 2-hour drive from Ubud, Aling Aling waterfall is one of the most fun waterfalls in Bali.
With a ton of different activities including swimming, jumping, and sliding, everyone who visits this waterfall falls in love.
