Sekumpul Waterfall is one of the most spectacular and beautiful waterfalls in Bali, located in the Singaraja region.
The trek to Sekumpul requires a bit of stamina. After parking, there’s a hike that includes stairs, dirt paths, and crossing small rivers. It’s about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your pace and the trail you take.
- Waterfall Views: The waterfall consists of several streams that cascade down the lush, green cliffside. You can enjoy views from afar as well as closer up. Many people like to stand at the base for incredible photo opportunities.
- Swimming: The pool at the base of the waterfall is refreshing, so bring swimwear if you’d like to take a dip. The water is cool, which is perfect after the hike down.
- Guides: Hiring a local guide can enhance the experience, as they can take you on paths you may not otherwise find and share insights about the area.
- Best Time to Visit: For the best experience, visit during the dry season (April to October) when the water flow is steady but manageable, and the trails are less muddy.
- Essentials: Bring sturdy shoes, a change of clothes if you plan to swim, a waterproof bag for electronics, and water to stay hydrated.
