When you arrive at the Tegenungan Waterfall, you will see a changing booth to the left and a waterfall straight ahead. If you want to go upstairs to the cliff, you’ll have to pass the wooden bridge. Otherwise, just enjoy the waterfall and head upstairs later. If you want to avoid crowds as we did, I suggest that you as early as possible since the Tegenungan Waterfall is a popular tourist attraction in Bali, especially for those who stay in Ubud, as it’s the closest waterfall to Ubud, just 20 minutes by motorbike.

Because we like to take several photos and try different angles it takes some time before we’re done photographing, so it was a pleasant surprise that we got the Tegenungan waterfall to ourselves that long! I would avoid going there later than 12 if you don’t go later at sunrise, but I suggest going early and combining it with some other waterfalls near Ubud.

If you’re a good swimmer you should be fine, but the waterfall is quite powerful and there are again signs and even red buoys in the water.

You can walk into the water a short distance before it gets deeper. So if you want to take a picture of you standing in the water in front of the Tegenungan Waterfall, that’s doable and safe.

Do you need to walk down the stairs to see the waterfall?

Well, you could just walk a few steps and see it from a distance and take a photo. But you will still have to pay the entrance fee. And to be honest, it’s not that hard to walk down and its much more amazing to see close-up.

Can you jump from the cliff?

I wouldn’t recommend this. The water is not deep enough from that height and you will most likely injure yourself. There are several signs saying that you shouldn’t jump from the cliff, and Indonesia is not well-known for advertising danger and put up signs everywhere.

So, I would urge you to take this seriously as it really is dangerous.

Do you need hiking experience?

Well, not really. Just about any person with an average health should be able to climb down and up the stairs. If you want to visit the temple or second level of the Tegenungan waterfall, you won’t need any hiking experience either.

Yes to the left when you arrive at the Tegenungan Waterfall, you will see a small changing room.
