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.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

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.
This loop through north-central Bali moves from steep, mossy trails to wide lake views. Geologically the area is shaped by volcanic calderas; Beratan Lake sits on an old crater rim, its temple founded in the 16th century as a lakeside shrine to agricultural deities. At Wanagiri, viewpoints frame Buyan and Tamblingan — the “Twin Lakes” that fill collapsed caldera basins — while Candi Kuning market offers local fruit, spices and a glimpse of day-to-day Balinese life.
Expect uphill and uneven sections at Banyumala (short, slippery bamboo trails), a modest walk to the temple shoreline at Ulun Danu Beratan, and viewpoint platforms at Wanagiri that can be crowded mid-day. Practical notes: start early to avoid traffic and heat, bring good traction for wet rock, carry cash for small stalls and entrance donations, and plan 10–12 hours for a full private tour with hotel transfers. Hydrate at regular intervals and keep a light rain shell handy — mountain weather shifts fast. For photographers and hikers alike, this route pairs punchy waterfalls with wide, reflective lakes and cultural stops that reward pacing and curiosity.

Most private tour packages include transport and driver; entrance fees to temples and national sites and meals are often extra — bring cash for parking, small charges and food.
The waterfall trek is uneven and can be steep; tours note it’s not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or cardiovascular issues; children should be supervised.
Yes, wading or swimming in the plunge pool is common, but check local depth, currents and safety on arrival and avoid swimming alone.
Ulun Danu Beratan is a lakeside Hindu temple complex established in the 16th century and historically tied to water temple systems that managed rice irrigation.
Highland watersheds here are sensitive; stick to trails, avoid single-use plastics, and honor local offerings and temple etiquette to limit impact.
