The main falls, a cluster of narrow drops landing in one basin about eighty metres below the rim. The viewpoint from the ridge is free to reach. Standing at the bottom is a different experience entirely.
Ten minutes further along the valley from the main falls, wider and easier to swim at. Most guests who make the walk do both.
A smaller fall on the same trail, usually the first one you reach on the way down. Worth the few extra minutes.
The terraced slopes above the village, on the road in. Fewer visitors than Tegallalang and no entrance gate.
On the main road south of Singaraja, an easy ten minute walk from the car park. A good stop if the Sekumpul trek is not for you.
Two falls landing in a clear pool, about an hour west of Sekumpul. Steep descent, but shorter than Sekumpul and good for swimming.
The lake temple at Bedugul, on the road between Sekumpul and the south. Cool air, and an easy stop on the drive back.
Around forty minutes down on steps and dirt path, then a river crossing, then the climb back. Allow two to three hours for the whole thing at a comfortable pace.
The basin at Fiji is the better swim. At the main falls the spray is heavy and the water pushes hard, so it is more standing than swimming.
If the trek is not realistic, the ridge viewpoint still gives you the whole valley. No shame in stopping there, and it costs less.
Sekumpul pairs well with Banyumala, the Bedugul lake temple, or Munduk on the way home. That turns it into a long day rather than a rushed one.
