Tegenungan Waterfall

nature
Getting around: About 20-25 minutes south of central Ubud, an easy day-trip stop reached by car, scooter, or taxi.
Hours: Open daily roughly 8am-6pm with a small entrance fee; a long staircase leads down to the falls, and midday brings the biggest crowds given its proximity to Ubud.

Tegenungan is one of the most accessible and most visited waterfalls near Ubud — wide, tall, and easy to reach via a paved staircase down from the parking area, which is exactly why it draws heavier crowds than more remote falls further afield. Swimming is possible in the pool at the base, and the falls' width makes for one of Bali's more dramatic waterfall photos without requiring a strenuous hike.

Because of the easy access, this is often the first (and sometimes only) waterfall visitors near Ubud see — worth knowing that quieter, less-developed alternatives exist further out if the crowds here feel like too much.
