A Piodalan in Desa Pupuan and landscape destinations in the surrounding area offer different highlights for a stay. Belimbing has terraced rice fields and waterfalls; Desa Pujungan, Kecamatan Pupuan, has three more waterfalls. The cultural event takes place on a recurring festival date, while the natural attractions can be explored at their respective locations.

The Temple Festival in Desa Pupuan

The Piodalan takes place every Purnamaning Kapat at Pura Kahyangan Puseh in Desa Pupuan. The temple festival includes dances by Rejang Deha Teruna. The event is therefore tied to a specific temple and a recurring festival date. If you would like to plan your visit around it, check the date for your travel period. This makes it possible to plan your visit around the festival, while choosing natural attractions depends primarily on their location.

Rice Fields and Waterfalls in Belimbing

Tabanan’s official tourism information, published in 2023, lists Air Terjun Singsing Sade in Desa Wisata Belimbing as a place to visit. It also mentions extensive, terraced rice fields there. In the same nearby location, two different landscape features can be found side by side: a named waterfall and an extensive rice field landscape. This distinction can help you decide whether a single waterfall destination or a landscape shaped by terraces is the bigger draw.

Air Terjun Benben is also in Desa Wisata Belimbing. A 2018 route description mentions three different, constructed routes to the waterfall and describes them as very safe. The same description notes an approximately 200-metre stretch on the way in that motor vehicles cannot travel along. The route information and the stretch with the vehicle restriction concern different aspects of planning. The stated length applies to this stretch, not to the total length of the routes. As the description dates from 2018, it is advisable to check current access before visiting.

Waterfalls in Pujungan

Desa Pujungan, Kecamatan Pupuan, is home to Air Terjun Blamantug, Air Terjun Dedari and Air Terjun Rajapala. These three names refer to another group of waterfall destinations in the surrounding area. If you sort the destinations by location, the distinction remains clear: Belimbing and Pujungan are two different places, and each waterfall can be identified by name. When reading the place names, it is worth noting the additions Desa and Kecamatan: the Piodalan is located in Desa Pupuan, while the three waterfalls are in Desa Pujungan within Kecamatan Pupuan. The shared name Pupuan therefore does not refer to the same place here. The full place names clearly distinguish the temple location from the three nearby waterfall destinations.
