Hidden in the mountains in north Bali is one of the most stunning waterfalls in the region – but even more impressive is its “incredible” natural rockslide.

Lemukih Waterfall is tucked away in a quiet Balinese village near Sekumpul in the Singaraja region.

It falls from a height of 50m and is surrounded by green forest and bucolic rice paddies. And above the falls is a natural waterslide that cascades through the rainforest.

Bali’s viral natural waterslide

As tourists will tell you, you can’t help but be in awe of the tropical foliage and surrounding towering cliffs as water flows from the cliff into three separate pools, before flowing into the river below.

TikTok is inundated with clips showing off the “jungle waterslide” which has been described as a “hidden gem”.

“This natural water slide in Bali is so much fun,” one traveller wrote alongside a clip of hotspot.

“It is definitely worth visiting, because of the beautiful greenery, birds, dragonflies and the rainbows that it creates around you,” another person wrote online.

“Just get close to the raindrops on a sunny day and you will be amazed. It is placed in the side of Sekumpul waterfalls.

“We were taken there by guide from Lemukih village. All the guides are very sweet and although their village is small and simple, the community and its philosophy is very strong with an ethos that modern people from the cities could learn from.”

She recommends wearing wet shoes or snorkelling shoes.

“Walking on the rocks barefooted is not comfortable at all,” she said.

It is also advised to exercise extreme caution, as there are no lifeguards on duty.

The most direct route to Lemukih Waterfall is from the city of Denpasar via Jl Raya Kintamani Highway – it’s about two hour drive from Ubud.

Once you arrive at Sekumpul village it’s a 30-minute trek through the forest.

The hike offers “stunning views” of the valley to terraced rice fields.

“You’re basically hiking down into a big ravine in the jungle, and the views along the way are absolutely mind-blowing,” travel blogger the World Travel Guy wrote.

“You’ll want to wear junk shoes for this hike, because it gets VERY muddy near the end. The rocks at the bottom of the waterfall can be slippery too, so watch out for that.”

He said the natural waterslide is similar to a ‘slip n’ slide’.

“And you can reach it on a quick and easy trek from Lemukih village. The trekking distance from Sekumpul Waterfall is also pretty short and manageable.”
