The Experience

Before You Go

Start early

Begin before 8:00 AM to avoid crowds and to see higher midday water flow in the wet season.

Wear grippy footwear

Stony approaches and wet footholds demand water shoes or trail sandals with good tread.

Protect electronics

Use a dry bag and a zippered, waterproof phone case—falls and pools can surprise you with sprays.

Respect local customs

Some falls sit near small temples; cover shoulders and remove shoes if requested by guides or locals.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small rice-terrace viewpoints along the approach to Tibumana
  • A moss-covered pool upstream of Goa Rang Reng favored by locals for quiet dips

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (observe from a distance)
  • Kingfishers and sunbirds along shaded stream edges

Conservation Note

Stay on trails, avoid soaps in pools and pack out all waste; rising visitation has increased erosion so responsible access helps protect stream banks.

These waterfalls feed traditional subak irrigation networks; local communities have managed streams and temple access for generations.
