Ubud :Spectacular Waterfalls & Temple Tour

The short walk from the parking area to the waterfall is another highlight of the experience. The path takes you through a small jungle trail and over bamboo bridges, with the sounds of the river and birdsong accompanying you along the way. The hike isn’t difficult, but it adds to the feeling of discovering something special. One of the best things about Tibumana is that it’s still relatively quiet compared to other waterfalls in Bali. You won’t have to fight for space or wait long to take that perfect photo. The pool at the base of the waterfall is ideal for swimming, and the water is cool and refreshing, perfect for a dip after your walk. It’s not too deep, so even if you’re not a strong swimmer, you can wade in and enjoy the soothing environment.

One of the things that makes Kanto Lampo special is its intimate and relatively hidden location. The short walk down to the waterfall takes you through a peaceful jungle setting, and when you finally see the waterfall, it feels like you’ve stumbled upon a secret oasis. The sound of the water and the tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect spot to relax, take a swim, or just enjoy the natural beauty. The pool at the base of the waterfall is shallow, which means it’s great for wading or cooling off after the walk down. If you’re up for a bit of fun, you can even climb up part of the waterfall for a more adventurous experience, though the rocks can be slippery, so it’s best to be cautious.

The purification process at Tirta Empul is an experience unlike any other. Devotees and visitors alike enter the pools, moving from one spout of water to the next, cleansing themselves under each fountain. It’s a meditative and peaceful process, and the sound of the water combined with the chanting of prayers creates a spiritual ambiance. As I participated, I could feel a sense of calm and renewal, even though I was unfamiliar with the rituals. The experience felt very personal, yet connected to something much larger. One of the things I love most about Tirta Empul is that it offers a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Bali. It’s not just a tourist destination—it’s a living temple, actively used by the local community for ceremonies and religious observances. You can feel the sacred energy here, and it’s a wonderful place to reflect, meditate, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings.
