1.Munduk Waterfalls Trek, Twin Lakes and Temple Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 545 reviews · 5 - 9 hours · from $41Our pick

You’ll hike through Munduk’s rainforest, pause at the Twin Lakes viewpoint, swim at Banyumala Waterfall, canoe across Tamblingan Lake, and visit Ulun Danu Tamblingan Temple. Guides such as Tia, Luhde, Putu, and Kadek add local insight on plants, customs, and village life. Transfers and lunch are optional.

“I enjoyed the hike through the jungle and the canoe ride was pleasant, eventhough we had to wait 15 min as there were other tourists waiting in line. The food was excellent and really tasty. IMO the waterfall was the best part and it finalized our tour. Be ready for a long walk up and down the stairs to the waterfall as it can be very tiring for some. Our driver and guide were both well informed on the culture and nature of Bali, which was very helpful and professional as they were able to answer all of our questions. Both of them were very nice and social as well.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · from $70

Spend 6 to 8 hours in a private jeep from Munnar to Anakulam, with a local driver-guide, tea estates, village roads, waterfalls, a hanging bridge, Tiger Cave, river crossing, food, fruit, snacks, and a chance to see wild elephants. The elephant wait can last from minutes to more than three hours.

“We went to 1 waterfall rather than the 2 in the itinerary. We weren’t taken to multiple places on the itinerary - we drove past them but I don’t count that as visiting them. Our driver was friendly but barely spoke English and wasn’t a guide - zero insight into anything. 90% of this tour is being driven around. Very underwhelming all round sadly.”
