The Sekumpul Waterfall is a hidden gem in the north of Bali, promises a challenging walk from Sekumpul village down hundreds of steps and a river crossing. During the rainy season, visitors will be greeted by a chain of up to seven falls scattered across the high cliffs. For cave explorers, you can sit on the flat canyon rocks of Sukawati and see how much deeper you can go into the canyon.
