About the Leke Leke Waterfall
The Leke Leke waterfall is located in the center of Bali, near the village of Nungnung in the Tabanan Regency. It is a quite impressive waterfall, with a height of around 50 meters and known as one of the most powerful waterfalls of Bali.
During rainy season, you will most likely get wet by the spray caused by this waterfall, so protect your belongings well.
Because of its more secluded location, this waterfall tends to be less crowded than the more famous waterfalls closer to the popular tourist areas like Ubud, but it is gaining popularity due to its Instagram worthy look!
At the bottom of the waterfall is some small pools, perfect for wading. Unfortunately, these pools is not big enough for proper swimming.

The hike to the waterfall
The entrance to the Leke Leke waterfall has been moved a bit from its previous entrance. It has become much more ‘official’ and accessible. When purchasing your entrance ticket, you will be offered a welcome drink. after which you can start your descent to the waterfall. The path to the waterfall is clear and consists of concrete steps, sandy parts and some bamboo bridges. You walk through beautiful jungle surroundings with tropicals plants, especially the last part. Some sections can be slippery, especially during rainy season, so be careful when descending. It is an easy walk down and in 10-15 minutes you will reach this beautiful waterfall. Due to the spray of the water, it can be muddy and slippery around the waterfall, so be careful not to slide.
On the way back up, the path splits and you have to take another way back up that goes past some Bali swings and eventually arrives back at the restaurant.

Best time to visit the Leke Leke Waterfall
You can visit the Leke Leke waterfall all year round. However, during the rainy season, especially at the end of it, the waterfall is most powerful and spectacular. If you prefer to visit with more chance for better weather, than it’s best to visit at the beginning of dry season.
The best time to visit this waterfall is before 10 am, before the day trippers arrive. If you want to be almost certain that you have the waterfall just for yourself and for great lighting, we recommend that you go as early in the morning as possible.
