[:en]Aling-Aling Waterfall[:]
When you say Bali, you think of intense lush green, rice terraces, incredibly beautiful beaches, and …. the splendid Bali waterfalls. You have not experienced the full potential of the island if you have not seen at least one waterfall in Bali.
Take your bathing suit, a waterproof backpack, and another set of clothes because you’re going to get wet! And prepare yourself for some exercise and out of breath moments, especially if you are not in shape (just like us :D).
Aling-Aling is definitely one of the most popular waterfalls in Bali. But they are actually a group of four cascades here. Aling-Aling is just the first of them and is considered sacred by locals. That’s why you are not allowed to enter the water, but you would not want to do so anyway because it is very dangerous. There are a few steps that take you closer to the base to admire the waterfall of ~ 27m.
The next 3 waterfalls are where the real fun ii hiding: Kroya, Kembar, and Pucuk. If you are brave enough, you can cliff jump into the water from 5, 10 and 15 meters high!
Visit fee:
If you only want to admire the waterfalls then the entrance ticket cost 20,000 IDR / person.
If you want a bit of adrenalin and jump in the water then you will pay about 200,000 IDR / person. The cost includes a guide that will show you how and where to jump safely.
Sekumpul Waterfall is one of Bali most spectacular waterfalls. It is located in the northern part of the island and lies in a valley with lush greenery. But for such a beautiful view you have to make some effort. The path takes you through the forest, then descend a few dozen (or one hundred) steps and cross a river.
The height of the waterfall is about 24m, and at its base is a perfect pool to cool down.
* Attention to the guides at the entrance because they will insist that you are not allowed to visit the waterfall without being accompanied and paying a few tens of dollars. Just ignore them and pay the visiting fee to a counter that is a few meters down the path.
Visit fee: 20,000 IDR / person
This waterfall is very easily accessible, being on the main road between Bedugu and Singaraja. To reach the GitGit Waterfall, you follow a paved path just for a few minutes, and you will pass a lot of little souvenir shops.
The waterfall is 40m tall and at the base you will find a small altar. If you wish you can visit another waterfall nearby. This is downstream of GitGit Waterfall and it’s called Mekalongan.
Visit fee: 10.000 IDR / person
The path that you will follow to reach this waterfall is an attraction in itself. You have to walk hundreds of meters through a stream that is at the base of a canyon with vegetation hanging from one side and the other.
At the end of the walk, you will discover a magical sight. The river flows down through a crag forming a water curtain, and several rays of the sun penetrate through the vegetation above and perfectly illuminate the waterfall.
* From what I read is not recommended to visit this waterfall after heavy rain because the river’s level is growing dangerously high.
Visit fee: 15,000 IDR per person
A less touristy waterfall most likely due to the fact that the water is not as blue. To get to it, you have to be in shape a little because you’ll have a hike all the way through the jungle. So come prepared with appropriate shoes.
But it’s worth it just to enjoy some minutes/hours of peace. Just you and the waterfall. And if you want, you can swim at its base.
Visit fee: 15,000 IDR per person
The Kanto Lampo Waterfall is located in the southeastern part of the island and is smaller compared to the ones above. But its charm lies in the way the water rolls over a series of boulders, creating the illusion of stairs. You will surely want to come here for some unique pictures. And the good part is that it is very easy to reach, just a few hundred meters from the main road.
Visit fee: 15,000 IDR per person
If you decide to explore a waterfall, watch where you’re stepping, because the water vapors make the stairs/stones very slippery.
