Waterfall
Sekumpul Waterfall
A cluster of Bali's tallest jungle waterfalls.
Lovina, North Bali
Sekumpul is often ranked among Bali's most spectacular waterfalls โ a cluster of cascades dropping into a single jungle valley in the island's north. Reaching the falls requires a guided trek down steep, sometimes slippery steps and river crossings, rewarded with swimming pools at the base and views of multiple falls at once.
Highlights
- Multiple tall waterfalls in one valley
- Swimming pools at the base
- Lush jungle trekking route
- Fewer crowds than Bali's south-coast attractions
Best time to visit
Dry season (April-October) for safer river crossings and clearer water; avoid heavy rain days when trails become slippery and flash floods are possible.
How to get there
About 3 hours by car from South Bali, or 30-45 minutes from Lovina, in Buleleng regency. A local guide leads the final trek from the parking area.
Travel tips
Wear grippy sandals or trekking shoes and bring a dry bag for electronics โ the trail involves stream crossings and can be muddy.
Frequently asked questions
