About this tour
A full-day trek through Bali's northern waterfall network, centred on Sekumpul—the island's most dramatic cascade. Your guide leads you through emerald jungle to multiple falls where you can swim in pools fed by mountain springs, before heading south to photograph the iconic Handara Gate and the lakeside temples of Ulun Danu. Eight to ten hours total, including lunch at a local warung and private transport throughout.

What to expect
Start early and drive north to Singaraja, where your guide meets you at the trailhead. The trek is moderate—muddy scrambles between cascades, slippery rocks, and steep sections—but no technical climbing. You'll wade through streams, cross rocky channels, and emerge at several pools where a dip is worthwhile. Expect humidity, insects, and damp underfoot; the path isn't manicured. After three to four hours of walking and swimming, you'll lunch at a simple restaurant overlooking the water. The afternoon swing south takes in the Handara Gate (brief photo stop) and the serene Ulun Danu complex, where temples sit on a peninsula in Lake Beratan.
Good to know
Wear grip-soled shoes, not sandals. Pack a towel and dry clothes if you plan to swim; bring insect repellent and sunscreen. The trek is unsuitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiac concerns. Minimum age is ten. Fit, confident hikers will enjoy this more than casual walkers.
