Banyumala Twin Waterfall is one of those places in North Bali that still feels quiet and untouched. Hidden among dense greenery, it stands out for its twin streams and the clear pool below, which makes the whole setting look especially beautiful.
The walk down is fairly manageable, and once you get there, it feels less like a quick photo stop and more like a place where you actually want to stay for a while. It’s a good option for anyone looking for a scenic waterfall with a calmer, more natural atmosphere.
Banyumala is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with last entry around 5:00 PM. Tickets for foreign visitors cost IDR 50,000 per person (2026). Payment is cash only, and there are no ATMs nearby. Children under 10 enter free. Parking is paid separately.
The path down is mostly paved, with steps, and takes about 10–15 minutes; the climb back up, mostly on stairs, is the harder part. At the base you can swim in the main pool and in the calmer pool by the second waterfall. The water is extremely cold and usually waist-to-chest deep.
The entrance is about 10 minutes north of Wanagiri, the village above Lake Buyan, and the drive from Ubud takes roughly two hours. Gitgit Waterfall (15 km away) and Sekumpul Waterfall are two other popular Bali waterfalls you can combine with Banyumala on a route through the north.
