How to get to Banyumala Waterfalls?
Private Taxi
The most comfortable way to get to Banyumala waterfalls is to hire a private taxi. It normally costs around IDR 500k (US$ 33.90) but it’s actually cheaper if you book through Klook.

I recommend combining your visit with Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls which are found about 20 minutes away.
Private Waterfall Tour
Another option is to book a private waterfall tour. The tour includes all relevant entrance fees, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide.

Scooter
If you’re on a budget, renting a scooter is the way to go. But you should know that the roads around North Bali are very windy and steep and you should be very careful when driving.
Unfortunately, the last section of the road leading to the waterfalls is one of the worst I’ve seen in Bali! Just picture potholes and boulders and if it has been raining recently, the road will be extremely slippery.
This is why it’s better to hire a private taxi to get there. I wouldn’t recommend riding a scooter unless you’re confident that you can handle the road conditions.
Make sure to bring your international driver’s license and always wear a helmet.

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls Entrance fee
The Banyumala Twin Waterfalls entrance fee is IDR 30k (US$2) and IDR 2k (US$ 0.15) for parking.
What to expect at Banyumala Twin Waterfalls?
After paying the entrance fee, take the dirt track that winds through the jungle. The hike to Banyumala Twin waterfalls is quite steep with the edge only secured by loose bamboo railings.
At some point, you’ll come across a few waterfalls seeping out of the rock wall to finally make their way onto the path. This part is very slippery, so a good pair of hiking shoes is a must.
After a 15-minutes hike, you’ll finally arrive in one of the most enchanting settings! Surrounded by lush vegetation, the twin waterfalls flow directly into a massive plunge pool.
Make sure to jump into the water for a nice and refreshing swim. Since Banyumala Twin Waterfalls are located in the mountainous region of North Bali, the water will be quite cold.
Hidden Waterfalls at Banyumala
Make sure to also explore the path opposite the main area which leads to two hidden waterfalls. Since most people don’t bother going past the main waterfalls, you’ll have the place all to yourself.

Best time to visit Banyumala Twin Waterfalls
It’s possible to visit the waterfalls at any time of the year. But if you want to experience Banyumala waterfall at its most powerful, try to plan your visit during the rainy season which is around December to March. But keep in mind that the path can be very muddy and slippery during these months.
Since Banyumala Twin Waterfall has become very popular lately, I recommend visiting early in the morning, from 6 a.m to 10 a.m before the crowds start to roll in.
Where to stay near Banyumala?
I highly recommend staying in Bedugul if you want to explore the waterfalls in North Bali. Bedugul is a small village full of gorgeous rice terraces and is located about 45 minutes from Banyumala Waterfalls.
Pondok Nyoman Guesthouse is very affordable and costs only US$ 25 per night! Situated on top of a hill with an incredible rice field view, the hotel offers spacious rooms with a large double bed, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, and free breakfast!
