My Husband and I Sold Everything at 55 Years Old to Travel the World

"A waterfall in Bali where they posed while staying in an affordable villa with a private pool; discovering waterfalls by scooter through the jungle was part of their shift from routine shopping and dining to market stalls, $1 warung noodles, and simple, immersive island life." - Shelly Peterson

8 reasons to visit one of Bali’s best-kept secrets - SilverKris

"A tucked-away cascade reached after an 8km trek south from the village, this tall, narrow waterfall drops over natural ledges into a series of small pools; the second tier features a jacuzzi-sized pool deep enough to swim in. The site is marked by a small Balinese gate and regarded as sacred by locals. The climb down can be steep and rugged, but rewards visitors with sweeping Sidemen Valley views and a little open-air café at the summit. Entry is free, though a donation of about 20,000 IDR is commonly suggested." - Penny Watson

I LOVE IT HERE. Track is easy for me, only way up. And its not tiring for me. Plus the view is so magnificent! I don’t know other waterfall in Bali that has same tropical forest view! And i love how we aren’t obliged to pay certain amount, only “pay as you wish” 🥹. It has restaurant at the top of the waterfall and price is okay to me. I don’t know about toilet upstairs, but the one near parking lot is kinda okay? Wish its more cleaner but its okay. Overall good experience. Aaaah will definitely come back

Truly a hidden gem!! This is a must visit waterfall, pack your bathing suit as well! You will climb up proper concrete stairs with a handrail as well, it's not too difficult! You will walk through water or just swim there before heading up the last steps to the top and restaurant (which we didn't reach though). So much better than the overrated and crowded tegenungan waterfall close to ubud! Don't miss out, amazing piece of art in the middle of green nature..

Was a really nice walk up to the highest point. It will take you about 15 minutes. 3 layers of infinity pools. I was wearing slippers, because you have to pass some water challenges. It's not difficult. It was not crowdy when we visit around 14.00 pm No entrance fee

Beautiful waterfall, but we got lucky that there was not many people that day otherwise it my tike some time to get some good photos. Entrance is on donations. On top there is some nice restaurant/cafe where is possible to get some food and drinks in very reasonable prices.

It was a nice experience going there and taking deep in to such a high waterfall. There is so many staircases but you can dip in the way as the waterfall is in your entire way. The ticket is for free but the road, if you are driving a car, is very narrow.

This waterfall is AMAZING! There is plenty of moto parking and a donation stand to enter. You have to climb many steps, but the views are worth it. There are various levels and small pools you can get in and great spots for photos. The restaurant at the top has an amazing view and toilets. There is a “shower” - water from the fall by the parking lot. Highly recommend it!

This a heavily trafficked insta spot when the weather is turning it on. Lucky for us there was none using any of the pools. So we got some nice shots of the waterfall without feeling like we were taking creepy photos of half naked and sometimes naked people getting there picture perfect instagram shot and blocking the already narrow path. There is a restaurant at the top if you climb all the way. Worth it for the view. It really is a beautiful place.

This waterfall is a set of half a dozen or so smaller falls, with swimming pools, that stack on top of each other and lead to an extraordinarily big vista over Bali‘s Jungle and Rice Fields. It is a spectacular view. There is a Warung at the top so take some money. It is such a great place to just stop and have some local food and Marvel at the view.
