Kemenuh, Sukawati, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80581, Indonesia
Tegenungan is the most accessible waterfall near Ubud - a powerful cascade dropping roughly 15 metres into a wide natural pool surrounded by lush jungle. Unlike Bali's more remote waterfalls that require long drives and steep treks, Tegenungan is just 20 minutes south of central Ubud with a well-maintained stairway of around 100 steps leading down to the base. The pool at the bottom is deep enough for swimming (though currents can be strong after heavy rain), and the spray from the falls keeps the whole area pleasantly cool.
Entry costs IDR 20,000 (€1.10) and the site is open from 06:30 to 18:30 daily. Changing rooms and lockers are available at the base. The waterfall is at its most powerful during and just after the wet season (December to March), but flows year-round. There are also viewpoints and swing platforms along the cliff edge above the falls for those who prefer to stay dry. Several warungs at the top of the stairs serve cold drinks and local food.
Pro Tip: Arrive by 07:30 to have the falls practically to yourself - by 10:00 it gets very crowded. Bring a dry bag for electronics and wear shoes with good grip on the steps. The afternoon light (around 15:00-16:00) creates rainbows in the spray.
