As mentioned earlier Sekumpul Waterfall different from the other waterfalls in Bali. It not consist of one or two waterfalls, but seven waterfalls in one area. 

There are two fallen waterfalls and the source of a waterfall covered by green trees that cover the surface of the hill. These waterfalls have a different character and source.

The first waterfall has a single flowing waterfall.  Such other waterfalls are often encountered and come from a mountain spring.

And the second waterfall is higher than the first waterfall, has a waterfall shape that dangles like a mosquito net and comes from the stream of a river.

The freshness of the water that fall from the 80 meters height, and the lush trees will make anyone amaze and fall in love instantly to this waterfalls.

Even so, getting down here requires a good deal of effort, with paths comprising dirt tracks, a hundred or so steps and crossings over streams, but when you reach the waterfall, it was all paid off. 

Sekumpul Waterfall located in the village of Sekumpul, Sawan district, Buleleng regency, in the northern region of Bali.

The village is within an hour’s drive southeast from Lovina Beach, and approximately a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Denpasar.

Getting to Sekumpul Waterfall you should go to Sekumpul village in the northern region of Bali. 

Its took 2,5 to 3 hours drive by car or scooter from Kuta area, and 18 kilometres southeast of Singaraja or 27 kilometres from central Lovina.

If you’re coming from Ubud, Seminyak or another area further away, it’s still possible to visit Sekumpul waterfall although you’ll most likely want to opt for a driver rather than taking the long bike ride! .

Would require a long day trip with this being the only thing you would realistically have time to do.

Google Maps claims it takes two hours, but it would probably be a lot longer, especially if you are on a less than gutsy scooter!

As with most natural attractions in Bali, visit to Sekumpul Waterfall there’s an entry fee of 20,000 IDR per person, payable at a small booth in the village.

A local trekking association offers guided treks of the area with warnings that it’s at your own risk if you don’t use a guide.

It would be easy enough to reach the first falls unguided, but we found our guide helpful navigating the paths and several river crossings to the second group of falls as the trail wasn’t so obvious.

Rates quoted for a group size of up to four trekkers are 150,000 IDR for a short trek (two hours), 200,000 IDR for a medium trek (three hours), and 350,000 IDR for a long trek.

The best time to visit Sekumpul Waterfall is anytime between mid morning and 2pm to get the best lighting from the sun through the valley.

To see the falls at their most powerful, visit during Bali’s rainy season – which runs from October to April.

If you do visit during this time, make sure to take care on the walk down as the stairs can be wet and there may also be slippery rocks.

The falls are still impressive in the dry season between May and September too. A good compromise is to visit around April and May as the falls will still be relatively powerful but the weather will be better at this time of year.

The path to the waterfall is easy to follow from the car park. As you follow it round you’ll reach stairs that will lead you the majority of the way to the falls.

ot long after you begin going down, there will be a small path on your left from which there is a brilliant Sekumpul viewpoint.

From here you can really appreciate the beautiful waterfall and the its location amongst the surrounding nature.

Once you’ve taken a few pictures here, continue down the stairs. At one point you will have the option to either turn off to the left, or continue to the right.

The easier path is to continue to the right where a bridge will lead you across the river. If you go to the left you’ll have to cross the river by foot.

After crossing the bridge, turn left and from here it’s a relatively short walk to the base of the waterfall.

You will have to get your feet wet at this point, so either take off your shoes or bring appropriate footwear!

The height of Sekumpul Waterfall is around 100 meter, and this waterfall also well- known as Gerombong Waterfall.

This is not the only one waterfall that drains water. However, two waterfalls are flowing swiftly.

We can enjoy the waterfalls from a distance before we enter the waterfall area because of the height.

There are two fallen waterfalls and the source of a waterfall covered by green trees that cover the surface of the hill.

These waterfalls have a different character and source. The first waterfall has a single flowing waterfall. Such other waterfalls are often encountered and come from a mountain spring.

And the second waterfall is higher than the first waterfall, has a waterfall shape that dangles like a mosquito net and comes from the stream of a river.

So during the rainy season, the first waterfalls remain in a clear state, while the second waterfall will be brown turbid. 

Hidden in the dense forest of North Bali, Sekumpul waterfall is an impressive work of nature.

Sekumpul in the local language translates to ‘collection’ or ‘group’ meaning that Sekumpul Waterfall is actually one of the multiple waterfalls.

In fact, there are 5 or 6 waterfalls in the same valley. These can also be explored after you visit the main attraction of the twin falls.

The main falls stand 80 metres tall, surrounded by beautiful greenery that is typical of Bali. Each waterfall is within 5 – 10 minutes hiking of each other.

Although the hike down to Sekumpul Waterfall is steep and a bit of a workout, it’s manageable for travellers of all ages.

On the way down you’ll even be rewarded with a picture perfect spot at the Sekumpul viewpoint.

Before you can enjoy the waterfall up close, visitors will be invited to travel on foot after the entrance.

Passing through several concrete steps and a handle of iron. This makes the visitors feel safe to descend the hills.

When going down the stairs you can hear the sound of a thundering waterfall hitting the pond of water under it.

Once down the stairs, there is a bridge with a clear river water below it. Soft tracking shortly after passing the bridge through a small forest and then you get to the Sekumpul Waterfall.
