Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Tukad Cepung Waterfall is located at Tembuku Village, Bangli Regency. It still remains the best virgin waterfall in Bali and is still not under commercial tourist spots. The waterfalls take about 10 minutes to walk and descend about 80 vertical meters down a series of steep stairs. These involve about 170 steps down and can be treacherous during the rainy season. But it is a very nice walk with the sound of running water everywhere.

While the open sky right from where the waterfall emerges gives you the most enchanting view you have ever seen.
The sunlight falls on the glistering waterfall creating a rainbow. You will feel the rainbow flowing right up to you.

Be prepared for challenging photography conditions. A constant mist of water will hit you and your camera, the closer you are to the waterfall. Put on your bathing suit before you hike down since there is nowhere to change and have a dip in the refreshing water. Wear appropriate shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.
