Ayung River

Ayung River

Ayung River is a river that rises near Penulisan, on the rim of the Batur crater, and flows almost due south, passing west of Ubud in a deep gorge (overlooked by several five-star resorts) and emptying into the Badung Strait just north of Sanur. The Ayung is Bali's longest river, measuring approximately 75 kilometers from source to mouth. It's popular with white-water rafters, but its rapids do not exceed Level III. The Ayung has a relatively small drainage area, as most of its tributaries run in parallel valleys.
