Haunted Valley Waterfall Expedition At Munduk Wilderness

In the heart of Bali, nestled between forest-covered mountains and lush rice fields, lies the hidden village of Munduk. This is the perfect place for an off-road Bali buggy adventure that will be your most exciting day out on the island.

Bali is undoubtedly a beautiful place to visit. Still, many parts of the island have succumbed to over-tourism. Suppose you are the type of person who feels the atmosphere of a place can be eradicated by crowds. In that case, Munduk is absolutely the place to go.

Located in northern Bali, Munduk is genuinely one of the most underrated places on the island. While Seminyak, Ubud, Nusa Dua, and Canggu have become hotspots for travel and tourism in Bali, Munduk remains a relatively untouched paradise.
Many visitors to Bali only go to Munduk as a day trip. You can spend your days in Munduk chasing the waterfalls, trekking through nature and exploring rice terraces. But if you stick around, you will see a side of Bali that you likely did not know existed.

Venturing into the wilderness of Munduk is a quintessential escape from the swarms of tourists in Kuta, Seminyak, and Ubud.

Munduk is home to many of the numerous captivating waterfalls in Bali. The Munduk Waterfalls trek starts at the Melanting Cottages just one kilometre from Munduk village.

The first waterfall on the list is Labuhan Kebo Waterfall. This waterfall is the deepest of the four, so visiting Munduk during the wet season is your chance to swim. However, the water level will only be wading during the dry season. Regardless, it is a great spot to cool off.

Just 10 minutes further down the trail, you will come to the turn off for your next waterfall, Red Coral Waterfall. It is just a short downhill walk with a handful of stairs to reach this waterfall.
The Tegallalang rice terraces outside of Ubud are the most famous in Bali. But unfortunately, in recent years, they have become much more touristy and commercialized. These days the terraces themselves are overshadowed by dozens of cafes serving speciality coffees and queues of tourists waiting for swing rides.

While Tegallalang is a must-see in Bali, you should pay a visit to one of Bali’s lesser-known rice terraces to experience their true magnificence.

Some of the more off-the-beaten-path rice terraces include the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jatiluwih, the Sidemen terraces, and the Munduk terraces. The Munduk terraces offer a similar landscape to Tegallalang, but with a fraction of the visitors.
