Detailed 2-Day Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a hotel pick-up between approximately 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The exact pick-up time depends on your accommodation location, allowing sufficient time to reach Wanagiri before the afternoon trekking departure.
Travel through the beautiful countryside of North Bali towards Pucak Manik Waterfall, the starting point of our journey.
At approximately 2:00 PM, meet your local guide, prepare your personal belongings, and begin exploring the Pucak Manik waterfall area.
Stop 1: Pucak Manik Waterfall Area
Begin by discovering three waterfalls in the Pucak Manik area. Enjoy the cool atmosphere of the forest, observe the surrounding vegetation, and take time to appreciate the natural beauty of this part of Wanagiri.
The waterfalls and their surrounding landscapes provide a beautiful introduction to North Bali’s nature before we continue deeper into the countryside.
Stop 2: Trek Through Tropical Forest and Local Gardens
After exploring the Pucak Manik waterfalls, continue on foot through forest trails and gardens cultivated by local residents.
Along the way, experience the changing scenery from tropical vegetation to agricultural land and natural forest paths. This part of the journey offers a different perspective on Bali, away from busy roads and commercial attractions.
Your local guide will lead the group through the planned route, with opportunities to rest, take photographs, and learn about the surrounding landscape.
Stop 3: Campuhan Waterfall
Continue to Campuhan Waterfall, one of the natural attractions along the trekking route.
Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, listen to the flowing water, and take a break before continuing towards the next waterfalls. The experience is about discovering the landscape at a comfortable pace rather than rushing from one stop to another.
Stop 4: Cemara Waterfall
Continue trekking to Cemara Waterfall, surrounded by the natural greenery of North Bali.
Take time to appreciate the waterfall and its forest setting. Depending on the weather, water conditions, and access, your guide will advise on suitable places to stop and take photographs.

Our next destination is Dedari Waterfall, another stop on this forest trekking adventure.
The route between the waterfalls offers a chance to experience the natural environment, local gardens, and quieter trails that make this part of North Bali special.
