Aling-Aling Waterfall, Bedugul & Sangeh
- Sangeh monkey forest
- Ulun Danu Beratan
- Aling-Aling waterfall
A sacred 35-metre fall you don't swim under, and three below it that you slide down and jump into — 5, 10 and 15 metres — with a village guide who knows exactly where to land.
Aling-Aling is the main fall in the Sambangan area above Singaraja, and the reason to come is downstream: Kroya (a natural slide), Kembar (10 m jump) and Pucuk (15 m) in a series of pools in the river gorge. The village runs it with guides, ropes and a clear routine — the guide jumps first, shows you the landing, and nobody goes who doesn't want to. Spectators walk the same path and swim in the pools. It's the adventure hour on our Sangeh, Bedugul & Aling-Aling day.
A river gorge with a path along it and pools at every fall. The main fall, Aling-Aling, is tall and split in two and sacred — you look, you don't swim. Fifteen minutes down, the fun starts: Kroya is a 12-metre slide on smooth rock into a deep pool, Kembar a 10-metre jump, Pucuk a 15-metre one.
The guides are village men who do this every day. They check the depth, jump first, show you the exact spot, and hold the rope on the slide. Life jackets are available. It's genuinely well run.
Non-jumpers have a good day too: the walk is pretty, the pools are swimmable, and watching is half the entertainment.
The sacred one, 35 metres, seen from the platform. No swimming.
A natural rock slide into a deep pool — the one everyone does.
10 and 15 metres from the rock ledges; guide first, you second, or not at all.
The lake temple at Bedugul, before the gorge on our route.
Entrance fees are in the price of our set routes; on a car + driver day they are paid at the gate, and your driver tells you the amounts the evening before.
What to do

Aling-Aling Waterfall plus wherever else you like, at your pace — up to ten hours, priced per car, your route.
How long should you stay? Two hours for the walk, the slide and the jumps. It's the afternoon on the Sangeh, Bedugul & Aling-Aling day.
Best time to visit. Late morning or early afternoon in the dry season. After heavy rain the village closes the jumps and the walk continues.

Questions
No. Most groups split. The slide is the gentle option and the pools are for everyone.
The guides check depth daily, jump first and manage each landing; the village has run it for years. It's still jumping off rocks — go with the guide's call.
Aling-Aling for fun, Sekumpul for spectacle. They're 40 minutes apart; a driver day can do both if you're very fit.
