How to get to Tukad Cepung

Tukad Cepung Waterfall is located North East of Ubud, and easily accessible from the major tourist hubs in Bali. We drove a scooter from Ubud, and the journey was approximately 1-hour each way.  

Once you arrive at the parking area marked below, it’s a relatively easy hike to reach the falls. The trail leads you through a picturesque jungle area and down 100 or so steps, before concluding at the canyon.

From there, you must wade through water and across obstacles to reach the waterfall.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the Bali Waterfalls is during the months of April-June, shortly after the wet season has ended. Due to the influx of rain, the waterfalls tend to be at their most impressive during this time.  

To witness Tukad Cepung Waterfall in full glory, you have a short window to catch the sun rays beaming into the cave. We arrived around 9.30am and shortly after that, the first rays made an appearance.  

Naturally, due to this short window of catching the rays, it can get incredibly crowded during that time. If you don’t mind missing this spectacle, it pays to come later in the day.  

Our Experience at Tukad Cepung Waterfall 

*Tip – It makes sense to combine your visit with a trip to Tibumana Waterfall.

Being the keen photographers and that we are, we planned to arrive at the falls in time for the sun-rays. We knew it meant waiting in a queue but we believed it would be worth it.  

The walk down to the canyon felt relatively easy compared to some of the other waterfall treks in Bali. We passed through scenic jungle landscapes and down some steps before arriving into the cave some 15-20 minutes later.

\It was a straight forward trail, and anybody of a reasonable fitness level will complete the hike with no issues.  

As soon as we stepped foot into the Canyon, we were grateful we were wearing water shoes. The water from the falls reached our knees, and the ground below felt rocky and uneven. I

We admired the unusual rock formations and mini waterfalls in the canyon, before heading to the main event. Despite having to climb over rocks and manoeuvre obstacles, it wasn’t a strenuous find. And to be met with the mesmerising waterfall at the end felt pretty incredible. 

After taking a moment to appreciate its beauty, we set up our camera and waited for the rays. As if like clockwork, as the first beams hit the falls, an influx of visitors crowded into the cave.

Thankfully, we were first in line for a photo; however, the pressure was on to nail the shot with a queue of people waiting for the same.

In conclusion, Tukad Cepung is one of the most impressive waterfalls in all of Bali. We loved the adventurous trek to the canyon, followed by the enchanting waterfall hidden among the cave. As for the stunning sun rays, they were just the icing on the cake.
