Bali may be famous for its beaches and beach clubs, but for those seeking peace and natural beauty, Tibumana Waterfall offers the perfect escape. Nestled in Bangli Regency, just about 30 minutes from Ubud, this spot delivers a calm and serene experience far from the crowds.
Surrounded by dense jungle and flanked by cliffs, the waterfall flows gently into a shallow natural pool. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and the only sounds you hear are birdsong and rushing water.
Reaching Tibumana involves a scenic short trek through lush greenery. The trail itself is manageable about 10 minutes walking and offers scenic bridges, tropical plants, and butterflies fluttering in the sunlight. For nature lovers, the journey to the waterfall feels just as magical as the destination.
Once you arrive at the falls, the sight is breathtaking. A clean vertical stream drops into a cool pool, surrounded by mossy rocks and vibrant green foliage. The waterfall isn’t too strong, making it safe to swim in. The water is shallow around the edges, perfect for dipping your feet or just sitting on the rocks and soaking up the atmosphere.
Morning visits are best you’ll avoid the crowds, and the lighting is perfect for photography. Plus, the air feels crisp and fresh.
Tibumana is more than just a place to take selfies. The area holds spiritual significance for locals. Small offerings (canang sari) placed on rocks or near the water remind visitors that this is also a sacred site. Locals often come here to pray or meditate, especially during Balinese holy days.
Please respect the local customs:
Don’t litter
Keep noise to a minimum
Dress modestly if you plan to swim
Upon arrival, a small parking area is available. Entry fee is approximately IDR 20,000 per person. Clean changing rooms and toilets are also provided near the entrance.
