Dedari Waterfall, Pujungan, Pupuan: Day Route from Denpasar

Air Terjun Dedari in Pujungan village, Pupuan district, Tabanan, is about 15 metres high. It is run by the village enterprise BUMDes Sanjiwani, with tickets at Rp15,000 for Indonesian visitors and Rp25,000 for foreign visitors (Bali Post, 2 January 2026). Do not confuse it with the Dedari waterfall in Bangli: this is a different place, in the western highlands of Tabanan.

According to Pujungan's village head, I Wayan Rimayasa, Dedari is the calmest of the village's three waterfalls. The other two, Rajapala and Blahmantung, are much taller. On clear days the three together draw around 50 visitors.

A day route from Denpasar

• 07:00 leave Denpasar towards Tabanan, then climb to Pupuan. It is about 60-70 km. Allow 2-2.5 hours for the winding mountain roads.
• 09:15 arrive in Pujungan village and pay the BUMDes managers. Ask whether the ticket covers one waterfall or all three, as the available sources do not say.
• 09:30 continue about 10 minutes to the site. The village head says the road is in good shape.
• 09:45-11:00 at Dedari. Mornings are usually clearest, before the midday mist and rain common in Pupuan.
• 11:00-13:00 if you still have energy, add Blahmantung (70-80 m) or Rajapala (tiered, about 60 m).
• 14:00 lunch in Pupuan, then head back to Denpasar before late afternoon.

From Lovina or Seririt in the north, Pujungan is about 40 km, roughly 1-1.5 hours via the Seririt-Pupuan road.

What you should know

• Sacred site: locals use all three waterfalls for melukat purification, meditation and retreat. Dress modestly, keep noise down and give way if a ceremony is under way.
• Honest downsides: facilities are still basic. The village says it is still looking for investors. Do not expect a café or tidy changing rooms. From south Bali the drive also eats up nearly half a day.
• Location: View on Google Maps
• Latest conditions: search on Instagram. Ticket prices checked in October 2026 against January 2026 data.

The dry season (May-October) keeps the paths drier but the flow weaker. At the height of the rainy season the falls are stronger and the footpath slippery.
