While Bali surely will live up to your adventurous expectation for a beautiful tropical beach, the place also won’t cost you an arm and a leg, it is super modest. Particularly if you decide to travel and explore the northern part of the island.

For those who have been in Bali, the south part of the island offers so many must-see places. However, few know what resides in the north part of Bali. The north part of Bali has abundant hidden gems that no other than you ever know.

This is the right article if you ever wonder what it is in North Bali. I must guarantee you won’t be short of things to do in North Bali.  While the northern part is not as famous as the southern, the infrastructure for Tourists is fairly well-available. So, you won’t be in trouble finding a place to stay.

The first part of this article will give you recommendations about the places you can’t miss, and the second part of the article will give you recommendations on where to stay. So, bear with me and find more useful tips to start your journey in the northern part of Bali.

Unmissable Places in the North

Let us start with what is in the north. It is to make sure you won’t regret exploring this part of the island. The greatest thing here in the north is the fact you will find few tourists compared to the south. That means the place is both less crowded and cleaner than the south. It is perfect for you who are fond of peace and serenity, isn’t it? Without further ado, let’s start our recommendation!

1.      Sekumpul Waterfall

Starting with the beautiful place to see, you might be expecting sea and sand, right? But the first thing we recommend to you is far from the sand. It is the waterfall that steals the hearts of many. Set in the Northern jungle region of Bali, it feels like a scene straight out of Avatar. Many describe this waterfall as the most impressive in Bali, and there’s no doubt that the momentous triple falls are a sight to behold. Water cascades from an almighty 80-meters into the lagoon below, while dense green vines cling to the cliff face – nature at its finest. When you search for anything to do with waterfalls in Bali, Sekumpul tends to top the list every time.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can opt for the arduous hike down to the bottom of the falls. Or you can either admire a birds-eye view from the viewing deck up above. We go into the pros and cons of both options in our Sekumpul Waterfall guide; however, either way, if you plan to chase waterfalls in North Bali, Sekumpul should be at the top of your list.

2.      Aling-aling Waterfall

There are plenty of waterfalls you can explore in Bali. In case you're looking for a genuine experience in North Bali, you totally can't miss Aling Waterfall. Renowned for its amazing collection of waterfalls and thrill-seeker cliff jumping freedoms, this is one of our top-list activities in North Bali. But, what many don't aware of is that the waterfall is considered sacred among local people, so no swimming or jumping is permitted. Be that as it may, there are innumerable regular pools and water slides along the path. With such a great amount to see and do at Aling, it is not difficult to kill a whole day here and not get bored at all.

So, if you choose to be safe rather than sorry, it is better to pay for a guide. The guide will help you to do a lot of adventurous stuff and outright not disturbing the sacred place. The beautiful scenery of the arduous thick jungle and track will greet you as soon you enter the area. The climate and scenery would be enough to thrill you and pump your adrenaline. Aling-aling Waterfall is the perfect place for you an adventure seeker.

3.      Sunrise in Mount Batur

What is the perfect place to watch the sunrise? That’s right, the mountain makes the scenery of sunrise more amazing. There is one thing you should do if you want to watch an unforgettable sunrise in your whole life. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishing something while most people are still in bed. So how about summiting a 1700-meter-high active volcano for sunrise? That’s precisely what we did during our stay in North Bali, and it’s probably the highlight of our time there. It may even be the highlight of all our time in Bali.

Getting out of bed at 2 am and make your way to base camp sound less appealing, but the prices when you reach the top is the feeling you won’t have the other way. The magical moment of experiencing sunrise atop an active volcano was the ultimate reward. If you are to drag yourself out of bed for only one sunrise during your time in Bali, I strongly suggest it be this one.

4.      Toya Bungkah Hot Spring

After your hard tracking atop, the mount Batur offers hot springs, which you can enjoy. Toya Bungkah Hot Spring is set at the bottom of the Batur Mountain. If you’re a big fan of hot springs, it’s worth a quick visit! Sat right in the shadow of the Mt. Batur volcano, I think we can say with absolute certainty that these hot springs are naturally heated and one of the most beautiful places in North Bali to take a dip.

There are 7 pools, but the one you’re going to want to spend all your time in is the one with the views of the actual lake. The lake scenery, while you sit in the hot pool, will give you a relaxing feeling. After all the hardworking, it is time to chill out spending your precious time.

5.      Banjar Hot Spring

If you want to occasionally spend the time at hot spring just to enjoy the relaxing feeling given by the warmth of the water, Banjar Hot Spring is the perfect place. Banjar Hot Spring, locally referred to as Air Panas Banjar, is where you can go for a soothing time while in Lovina. It’s approximately 5 km southwest of Lovina Beach and shares the same locality as the landmark Brahmavihara Arama Buddhist monastery. It provides a therapeutic experience, due to the water’s sulphuric content. This can be seen from the yellowish-red sediment on the spouts and pool walls.

The hot spring complex has 4 main pool sections with a central bathing pool that features a restaurant perched high above its northern side. Beside the restaurant are restrooms, lockers and changing rooms, and a spa and massage facility. A row of souvenir shops lines the route to the hot springs, selling all sorts of souvenir items

6.      Dolphin Spotting

It is time to visit the sea and sand in north Bali. If you told your friend who has been in Bali that they can spot dolphins at the north, they may be a bit surprised. Yes! Few tourists realize that dolphin spotting is a thing in the north. The majestic and beautiful sea creatures are often seen in the north beach part of Bali. Here in northern Bali, at Lovina Beach, traditional fishing boats head off in search of dolphins every day before sunrise. If you want to snapshot this remarkable view when the dolphins jump out of the water, this is the perfect opportunity.

However, it is important to remind you that Dolphins are one of the endangered animals that we should take care of. One of the things you can save the amazing creature is not to disturb their habitat by not littering the beach and the sea. This would be very helpful for them if you can maintain the habitat for them.

7.      Snorkeling and Scuba Diving

When you visit a tropical island, it is not quite complete if you don’t dip yourself to the bottom of the sea. Some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving sites are in North Bali, boasting abundant marine life and flourishing coral reef. The best dive sites are Menjangan Island is famous for its drop-off and coral garden, and Tulamben, which is popular for wreck diving. 

Set in Menjangan National Park, North West of Bali this area is rarely visited by tourists. We were hoping to get there on our last trip to Bali, but before we knew it, our 2-months were over. A diving day trip to Menjangan Island is quite a popular activity from the North of Bali, so you could do that or look into staying in the National Park for a night or 2.

Those are a few places you can go through and experience yourself. While there are a lot of places you can go but definitely the list, we recommend you above will not make you disappointed, unless you choose not to visit them! So how about the place to stay? Well, we have one recommendation for you.
