"What’s the vibe here? Tucked deep in the lush North Bali highlands are the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, a mighty pair of 11-story-tall falls that cascade into a natural pool. The far-out location—at least two hours from the main drags of Ubud and Seminyak—and the steep hike keep the crowds delightfully low. Any standout features? The waterfalls are the main draw. Take a cool, refreshing dip into the wide, shallow natural pools below them—depending on the season and the time of day, you might even have them to yourself. Was it easy to get around? Once you arrive at the main car park, you’ll need to descend bamboo- and steel-railed steps for about 15 minutes to reach the main site. A walking stick will certainly come in handy when you're navigating the steep, slippery, and uneven terrain. Pace yourself and wear sturdy footwear. What—and who—is this best for? This spot is perfect for anyone in search of Bali’s raw natural beauty—sans the typical tourist pack. Come early to maximize your time." - Travis Levius
