How to get to Leke Leke Waterfall in Bali

Leke Leke is one of the most picturesque waterfalls near Ubud, and conveniently accessible from most tourist hubs in Bali. We combined our visit with a trip to Nungnung Waterfall, and both are located around 1-hours drive North from Ubud centre.

As you approach the pin location on the map below, you will need to keep your eyes peeled for the entrance to Leke Leke Waterfall. The parking area is relatively small and easy to miss; however, you shouldn’t have any problems finding a spot. 

From the parking area, it’s around a 15-20 minute hike to reach the falls. Set in the heart of the Balinese Jungle, the grounds are both gorgeous and well-maintained. You can tell extra efforts have been made along the trail to ensure the waterfall is accessible to everybody.  Leke Leke Waterfall in Bali Map

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit any of the Bali Waterfalls is during the months of April-June, shortly after the wet season has ended. Visiting Leke Leke during dry season comes with the risk of it being dried out.

Leke Leke Waterfall is still somewhat of a hidden gem in Bali, and you’ll often find there is nobody else around. That said, it always pays to arrive as early as possible for the best chance of having it all to yourself.

Our Experience at Leke Leke Waterfall 

We made our way to Leke Leke after an early morning stop at Nungnung Waterfall. Nungnung is another impressive waterfall in Bali, so it makes sense to combine to the two if you’re heading that way.

It was around 11 am when we arrived at Leke Leke. There were a few bikes and tour vans in the parking area, which is to be expected at that time of day. As we paid the entrance fee, we could see there were several other activities held within the grounds like trekking and tubing.

On this occasion we were only there for the waterfall, so we paid our fee and commenced the hike down. The trail leads you through a scenic jungle area, with various plants and flowers intensifying the view.

After tackling a few steps and bamboo bridges, we made it to the falls in no more than 15-minutes. There seem to be a few different trails around, but as long as you follow the signs, you will have no trouble finding Leke Leke

What struck us about Leke Leke, was how the falls sit nestled within a cove. With such perfect framing, you can see why it’s now a Bali Instagram hotspot. The water flow is calm and graceful, compared to other waterfalls in Bali. And the surrounding nature gives this spot a real peaceful feel.

When we arrived, there were a few other groups around admiring the falls and queueing for photos; however, it didn’t ruin the experience. Set in the lush Balinese Jungle, Leke Leke Waterfall retains an enchanting vibe. And we can only hope that it stays that way as its popularity grows.
