Munduk Waterfall can be found in the north of the mountain town just off the main road. Munduk is 2 hours from popular Ubud, however we recommend spending two to three nights here rather than cramming in a day trip.

Just off the main road next to Red Land Warung is a small Parking area which is perfect if you’re visiting Munduk Waterfall, the fee is 3,000 IDR. If you want to do the four waterfalls walk we have a different starting point suggestion (Melanting Cottages) which you can find here.
The Munduk Waterfall Parking area is a short 20m walk to the entrance for the trail down to the falls. The entrance is well signposted, you can also access Golden Valley Waterfall here but there is a closer parking lot if you’d prefer, the walk takes around 15 minutes to Golden Valley.
