A private day tour through North Bali that pairs a challenging bamboo-track descent to Banyumala’s twin falls with panoramic viewpoints over Buyan and Tamblingan lakes and the lakeside Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. Ideal for hikers who want dramatic water, highland air and cultural stops.

Mist from the falls cools the air before the track does — you step off a narrow bamboo path and hear two curtains of water answering one another across a ferned ravine. Banyumala’s twin drops cut through volcanic rock high in Bali’s central highlands; below, a clear plunge pool invites a quick wade while the surrounding forest seems to lean in and watch.

Wear grippy shoes
Trails to Banyumala include wet rocks and bamboo steps — non-slip hiking shoes or sturdy trail runners help prevent falls.
Start early
Begin at first light to avoid traffic from the south and to catch softer light at the lakes and temple.
Carry cash
Small vendors at Candi Kuning and some entrance points accept only cash (IDR); bring small notes for offerings and snacks.
Respect swim safety
Plunge pools are inviting but can have undercurrents and cold temperatures—check depth and swim with a partner.
Trail shoes
Provide traction on wet rocks and bamboo steps around the waterfall.
Light rain shell
Mountain weather changes quickly; a packable shell keeps you dry and warm.
wet-season
Reusable water bottle (1–2L)
