Air Terjun Munduk
Jungle waterfall dropping about fifteen meters over volcanic rock, reached by a steep stairway of hundreds of steps.
This guide to Air Terjun Munduk in Bali starts with the 476 steps cut into the hillside between you and the water, and the local legend that the falls were born when the god Indra drove his trident into the earth. It follows why Balinese Hindus still come to bathe here, believing the spray carries healing power and good fortune, and points out the small temples and offerings left near the water. You'll also hear how Dutch planters later arrived in these highlands and added coffee and clove groves to slopes long treated as sacred. Mind your footing on the climb back up, which visitors tend to curse far more than the descent.
