Distance & Travel Time
Suppose you stay in the tourist area of Kuta to reach the location of the Kemenuh Waterfall. Therefore, you will travel a distance of 32 kilometers, with an estimated 1 hour and 10 minutes of travel time. Of course, the road is in average condition, and there is no road congestion.
If you stay in the Tanjung Benoa tourist area, heading to Tegenungan Waterfall is a further distance. You will cover 40 kilometers with a travel time of 1 hour and 10 minutes, and you have to use the toll road to arrive faster.
It’s different if you depart from the tourist area of Ubud, Bali. As information, the scope of Ubud is vast, so it is easier for me to use your benchmark to depart from Ubud Monkey Forest. Ubud Monkey Forest to Tegenungan Waterfall will cover 12 kilometers with an estimated travel time of 30 minutes.
The waterfall location is not on the side of the road. To find the place of the Kemenuh Waterfall, you need to descend hundreds of stairs from the parking area. After you go down the stairs, you will find the Petanu River.
Descending hundreds of steps is not so tiring. But when you have to return to the vehicle parking lot, you have to climb hundreds of stairs. So, if you are not strong enough to climb stairs, we do not recommend that you go down the stairs. Even if you don’t go down, you can still see the Tegenungan waterfall view from above. But you still have to pay for the Tegenungan waterfall entrance ticket.
