Sekumpul Waterfall

Often called Bali's most beautiful waterfall - a cluster of tall falls in a jungle amphitheatre.

The Experience

The Trek

A Proper Hike Down into the Valley

Reaching the base of Sekumpul is a real trek - down and back up, around an hour each way, including a river crossing on foot. It's an adventure as much as a viewpoint, winding through jungle and village paths. A local trekking guide is required on site, and it helps to wear shoes you don't mind soaking.

The Falls

Bali's Most Beautiful Waterfall

Widely called the most beautiful waterfall in Bali, Sekumpul is a cluster of tall falls dropping side by side into a lush jungle amphitheatre. Towering green walls curve around the pools, and the roar of several falls at once fills the whole bowl. It's an impressive sight, well worth the climb.

The Base

Wild, Uncrowded & Worth the Trek

The effort of the trek is exactly why Sekumpul stays so wild and uncrowded compared with Bali's roadside falls. Standing at the bottom, surrounded by jungle and mist and the thunder of the water, is the payoff. It's a strenuous outing, so bring water and go in the morning when you're fresh.
