The Basics
Tegenungan Waterfall is located in the village of Tegenungan, approximately 10 kilometers from Ubud. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a vibrant atmosphere while still retaining its natural beauty. Entry to the waterfall is affordable, and the area is equipped with amenities such as restrooms, cafes, and places to relax. The waterfall is easily accessible by a short walk down a series of stairs, and while the hike is manageable, visitors should be prepared for a bit of a climb back up.
Things to Know Before You Go
While the waterfall is stunning, be cautious when swimming. The currents can be strong, and it’s best to stay in designated swimming areas. If you're planning to visit during peak tourist seasons (like the dry season), arrive early to avoid the crowds. Wear comfortable shoes for walking down the stairs and be mindful of the slippery rocks near the waterfall. There are also several photo spots around the waterfall, so be sure to bring your camera to capture the beautiful scenery.
How to Get There
Tegenungan Waterfall is located in the village of Tegenungan, which is easily reachable from Ubud. The most common way to get there is by car or motorbike, and taxis or private drivers are readily available for hire in Ubud. The drive from central Ubud takes about 20–30 minutes. If you’re exploring Ubud on a bike or scooter, the waterfall is a great stop on your route.
When to Get There
The best time to visit Tegenungan Waterfall is early in the morning, before the crowds arrive. Visiting during the dry season (April to October) offers the best weather for exploring, but the waterfall remains stunning during the rainy season as well. However, the flow of water can be stronger in the rainy season, so exercise caution if you plan to swim. Weekdays are quieter, while weekends tend to attract more visitors.
