How to get to Nungnung Waterfall in Bali
Nungnung is one of the best waterfalls near Ubud, and easily accessible from the major tourist hubs in Bali via scooter or car. We combined our visit with a trip to Leke Leke Waterfall, and it was around an hours drive from Ubud centre.
Once you arrive at the parking area of the falls, you’ll need to purchase your ticket at the desk before commencing the climb down. It’s one of the more challenging waterfall hikes in Bali, and you’ll have to get down 500 or so steps to reach the falls.

Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit any of the Bali Waterfalls is during the months of April-June. The waterfalls tend to be at their most impressive during this time. Nungnung is one of the exceptions though, tends to be fierce all year round.
Relative to most waterfalls in Bali, Nungnung is one of the lesser-known ones. That said, it does pay to visit early morning if you want to avoid the crowds.

Our Experience at Nungnung Waterfall
We arrived at the parking area just before opening time, relieved to find we were the first ones there. Shortly after, a local whizzed down on their motorbike to collect the entrance fee, so they must keep an eye out for tourists driving by. We paid the 10,000 fee and commenced the trail down to the falls.
It’s quite a trek to get down to the falls, and while you pass through a lush jungle area, there’s nothing too special about the hike itself. Thankfully, the stairs are in good condition so you can pick the pace up to get down quicker. I didn’t count the stairs, but I’d say there are easily 500 or more. It took us around 10-15 minutes to reach the bottom, moving at a moderate pace.
We heard the sheer wrath of the falls before we saw it. Nungnung Waterfall is a 60-foot force to be reckoned with! It’s clear why it’s often referred to as one of the best waterfalls in Bali. We looked on in awe, as we felt the kick back from the formidable flow of water.
Nungnung is one of few waterfalls in Bali where it is permitted to swim; however, the immense power of the water was enough to deter us from taking a dip. The lagoon around the falls is pretty big, and some people do get in. But getting caught up in that kind of force is not a fight I would count on winning.
