About this tour
Trade the coastal strip for Bali's mountainous interior on this 10-hour loop hitting three water temples and jungle falls. Start pre-dawn at Lempuyang, the clifftop shrine famous for its photogenic gates framing valley views, then descend to Tirta Gangga's tiered pools for a swim. The afternoon unfolds at two waterfalls—Cepung's cave-fed cascade and Tibumana's taller drop—both set deep in forest where you can cool off between each stop.
Highlights
- Lempuyang temple gates at sunrise, mountain ridge backdrop
- Tirta Gangga palace pools, swim in sacred waters
- Cepung waterfall grotto, limestone cave setting
- Tibumana falls, jungle-surrounded natural amphitheatre
- Pre-dawn start to beat crowds and heat
- Air-conditioned transport throughout the day
What to expect
Your guide collects you early to chase dawn light at Lempuyang, where a series of terraced gates climb the mountainside—the final gate offers the money-shot vista. Expect steep steps and crowds of other photographers. You'll then drive to Tirta Gangga, where ornamental pools sit beneath a palace; bring swimmers. Two waterfalls follow: Cepung involves scrambling through a stream-fed grotto, whilst Tibumana is a straightforward descent to deeper pools ideal for dunking. The pace is steady but not punishing, and there's downtime for photos and swims.
Good to know
Early starts mean an early pickup. Entrance tickets aren't included—budget these separately. Wear proper water shoes or trainers (not flip-flops) for slippery rocks. Bring a change of clothes and a dry bag. No lunch provided, so eat before or pack snacks. The van is air-conditioned, but temple dress codes apply at Lempuyang and Tirta Gangga.
