A Medium Trekking Experience at Sekumpul with a Local Guide

This medium trekking experience sekumpul report follows a local guide from Sekumpul village leading the group.

Discover the Real Beauty of North Bali

Exploring Sekumpul Waterfall is one of the best nature experiences in Bali, especially for travelers who enjoy waterfalls, jungle trekking, and authentic local adventures. As a local guide from Sekumpul Village, i recently had the pleasure of guiding a lovely couple from France on the medium trekking route to Hidden Waterfall and the main Sekumpul Waterfall.

This trekking experience combined scenic viewpoints, jungle paths, river crossings, Waterfall swimming, and local Balinese hospitality in the heart of North Bali.

Meeting the Guests at Post 1 Parking Area

Starting The Trekking Adventure

I meet the French couple at around 11:00 AM in the parking area at Post 1 Sekumpul Waterfall. The weather that day was perfect for trekking- slightly cloudy with fresh mountain air from the northern Bali Highlands.

Before starting the trek, the guests purchased the official medium trekking ticket.

Medium Trekking Ticket Price

  • IDR 150,000 per person
  • Total for 2 guests: IDR 300,000
  • The ticket already included a local guide service

After the ticket process was completed, I introduced myself and explained the trekking route, safety information, and the best spots for photos and videos along the journey.

Walking to The Sekumpul View Point

First Stop with Amazing Panorama

From the parking area, we started walking for around 15 minutes toward the famous Sekumpul viewpoint. The path was easy and surrounded by tropical trees, clove plantations, and fresh mountain scenery.

At the viewpoint, the guest were amazed by the panoramic view of the tall waterfalls hidden between the green cliffs.

I helped them take several photos and cinematic videos from the best angle, which is one of the most memorable moments before continuing the trek down into the valley.

Trekking Down to Hidden Waterfall

Descending More Than 350 Stairs

After enjoying the viewpoint, we continued the journey down through more than 350 stairs leading toward the Hidden Waterfall area.

The trek becomes more adventurous at this point, with jungle atmosphere, small streams, and natural sounds from the waterfalls surrounding the valley.

When we arrived at the Hidden Waterfall, the guests decided to swim and enjoy the refreshing natural water. They spent time taking photos, relaxing, and experiencing the peaceful atmosphere of North Bali nature.

Crossing the River to Reach the Main Sekumpul Waterfall

The Highlight of the Medium Trekking Route

After visiting Hidden Waterfall, we continued the adventure by crossing the river to reach the main waterfall area of Sekumpul Waterfall.

This part of the trek is usually the favorite moment for many travelers because the scenery becomes even more dramatic and untouched.

The powerful waterfall, surrounded by giant green cliffs and tropical forest, creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

At the main waterfall area, the guests:

  • Swam in the natural pool
  • Took cinematic waterfall videos
  • Enjoyed the cool mountain water
  • Relaxed while listening to the sound of nature

As a local guide, i also helped them capture some cinematic content for their travel memories in Bali especially at Sekumpul Waterfall.

Lunch at the Viral Hanging Restaurant

Relaxing After the Trek

After completing the trekking route and climbing back up the stairs,  the guests felt tired and hungry from the adventure.

I then invited them to have lunch at one of the viral hanging restaurant in front of viewpoint of Sekumpul Waterfall as a good spots of lunch with view.

The relaxing atmosphere and local food became the perfect ending after an exciting waterfall trekking experience.

Returning to the Parking Area

End of the Trekking Experience

after lunch, we returned to the parking area to meet the driver who had brought the guests from their hotel.
