Best Time to Visit

Best time: Dry season (April – October) for clearer water and safer footing. The wet season (November – March) brings stronger flows and more dramatic cascades but also slippery rocks — visit with extra caution if you go then.

Weather Conditions

Tropical climate: temperatures commonly range from about 25–32°C (77–90°F). High humidity year-round. Expect short heavy showers in the wet season (Nov–Mar) and generally sunny conditions in the dry season (Apr–Oct).

Accessibility

Located in Beng village, Gianyar Regency — roughly 25–45 km from Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International Airport depending on route and traffic, and about 20–40 minutes by car from central Ubud. Public transport is limited; best accessed by private car, taxi/ride-hailing, or motorbike. The final approach requires descending uneven stone steps and walking on rocks — not suitable for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility.

Recommended Duration

Plan about 1–2 hours at the site (including walking, photos, and a short refreshment break); add travel time from Ubud or your accommodation.

Clothing & Gear Tips

Bring non-slip water shoes or sturdy sandals, swimsuit and quick-dry clothing, towel, waterproof phone case or dry bag, sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent. In the wet season carry a lightweight rain jacket and take extra care on slippery rocks.

Local Food & Souvenirs

Small local warungs near the entrance often sell nasi goreng, mie goreng, and fresh coconut. For souvenirs, nearby Ubud markets offer wood carvings, batik, and handicrafts — buying locally supports village vendors.
