Tibumana Waterfall is located in Banjar Bangun Lemah Kawan, Apuan Village, Susut District, Bangli Regency. Although administratively part of Bangli, the waterfall lies within the Central Bali tourism area and is closer to Ubud, one of Bali’s main tourism hubs.
Despite being located in Bangli, the route to Tibumana Waterfall passes through the same route as Kanto Lampo Waterfall and Goa Rang Reng Waterfall. It takes approximately 20 minutes to reach Tibumana Waterfall from Goa Rang Reng Waterfall. The location is easy to access; although the roads are narrow and some sections are damaged, visitors are rewarded with scenic views of coconut trees along the way.
After parking the vehicle, visitors walk along a small path beside a large temple, with clear directional signs leading to the waterfall. The number of steps is not excessive, and the path is well maintained. After descending the stairs, visitors will cross two small bridges before reaching Tibumana Waterfall.
The sound of rushing water becomes audible after crossing the final bridge. Visitors will then see a waterfall approximately five meters high, surrounded by cliff edges that are almost entirely covered with shrubs and moss. Above the cliffs, lush trees add to the natural beauty of the area. Local residents often refer to Tibumana as a “twin waterfall” because two streams of water fall side by side. However, the water flow from each stream is not always equal; at times, one stream may be smaller or even stop flowing altogether. As a result, visitors may sometimes see a pair of waterfalls and at other times only a single one. During certain seasons, such as the rainy season, the flow of both waterfalls is more stable. When we visited, however, only one waterfall was flowing due to the low water volume.
The management and local residents provide facilities for visitors who wish to swim near the waterfall, including toilets and changing rooms.
Enterance fee : IDR 5.000 per person.
