Munduk Waterfalls

Munduk is name of a village, which is famous enough but still quiet. Surrounding by clove trees, looks like golden valley. There are some hotels and restaurants here, so don’t need to worry if you come late from Denpasar or Singaraja. There are some waterfalls in this area, I visited three of them. The first one if you come from Gitgit or Bedugul, a nice waterfall with coffee plantation and café. There will be asign in right side, "Cascade Munduk Waterfall", with small parking area n very small shop. I didn't pay any entrance ticket, but the woman in that shop said, if foreigner need to pay. From parking area need to walk down about 500 meters, pass a house and café. If you drink something in that café, you can see the view of waterfall.

Actually from that waterfall you can walk down to another waterfall, there will be a junction of footstep path. If turn left will go to the famous waterfall in this area. If turn right will go to another waterfall. Also can go there from Munduk village, and need to pay 5000 IDR for ticket. I met some foreigners with local guide from hotel, looks like a day trekking to some waterfalls. Also a couple of foreigner brought a map of waterfalls in this area. Maybe if you stay in some hotel in this area, you can ask about that map and the direction.

Not so far from Munduk, also there is another waterfall, located in Bengkel village. It called Shantipala waterfall. From munduk, you can go down and turn left in a sign Actres Villa in Banyuatis Village. You can ask people in Bengkel village about this waterfall, because many junction without sign, and also ask the place where do you need to stop and parking. From parking area need to walk down about 500 meters, and then you can see the whole area because the owner hiring people to 'cleaning' that area. I don't really like it, how come waterfall can have an owner and they changed it became not natural again? We need to pay for donation but I didn't. So there are two nice waterfalls here, and one not natural pool. They were building a property to stay in this area. Usually the owner make event and many foreigners come here to pray or meditation. They called it a sacred place in Bali which has good energy.

Shantipala Waterfall

To go to Munduk from the south, you can go to Bedugul area first. Right after the second lake (Danau Buyan), the road will go up. There will be a junction to Singaraja in the right, to Munduk and Danau Tamblingan in the left. So turn left and keep going that way.
