Paksebali Village has a Tukad Unda Watershed (DAS) which is a tourist attraction, located about 1 kilometer east of the Kerta Gosa Klungkung tourist attraction. For local residents, Tukad Unda is certainly no stranger, the dam or dam was built on the largest river in Bali, namely the Yeh Unda river. The interesting thing about Tukad Unda is the beauty of the waterfall flow which resembles a giant curtain, stretching with the waterfall flowing evenly. This uniqueness makes Tukad Unda a tourist attraction for local people to visit. Tukad Unda has a clear river flow so that in addition to being used as a recreation area it is also for swimming and bathing by the local community.

The potential of the Tukad Unda river can become sustainable tourism with good arrangement and management by Paksebali Village.
