Among waterfalls near Ubud that are worth a visit is the Nungnung Waterfall. Falling from a height of 50 metres, Nungnung is definitely the most powerful and pretty waterfall that you may witness in Ubud.

It is no surprise then that it’s a major all-season tourist attraction, although the best time to visit is during the dry season between April to September. This is when the water pools at the base of Nungnung falls are shallow and safe for a refreshing swim.

Believed to have spiritual cleansing powers, Goa Rang Reng is among those Ubud waterfalls that are visited by most locals. This surprisingly sprawling fall gushes down over a large bed of rocks and is a beautiful sight to witness! There is green shrubbery all around and a cave lies to the left of the falls.

Swimming isn’t permitted since it is considered more of a holy spot, but simply relaxing in the cool breeze, basking in the sun, is truly a beautiful experience.
