How to Get to Tegenungan Waterfall
Tegenungan Waterfall is located about 30 minutes south of Ubud, within Kemenuh Village in Southern Bali. Visitors who are traveling from Ubud should hire a private car or taxi, as most drivers are very familiar with the waterfall and will offer a fair price.
Visitors taking taxis should remember to carry small bills as some taxi drivers won’t be able to make change for larger denominations. Additionally, foreigners should always settle on a fare – or make sure the taxi has a meter – before getting into a taxi. Haggling for fairs is commonplace in Bali, so visitors who aren’t comfortable haggling should opt for a fixed-rate taxi or metered cab.
