Tegenungan Waterfall Gianyar Bali

Tegenungan waterfall is a beautiful waterfall. It is located only 5 kilometers from Ubud. You can go there anytime, but preferably in the morning or in the afternoon, when the sun is not so hot.

The entrance ticket is 10,000. You need to pay that at the ticket booth on the road leading to the waterfall.

Then you need to walk for about two minutes from the entrance ticket booth to be able to see the waterfall. There is a shop or little café from where you can look at the view of the waterfall. You can rest, relax, or take photos from here.

If you want to get closer to Tegenungan waterfall, you can continue walking. Pass the shop, you will find stairs leading you to the river where the waterfall flows.

There are about 400 easy steps going down located between bushes and trees. You will pass three water sprouts near the river. It’s for bathing place. You can bathe here, but I don’t suggest you to. (just kidding).

As you arrive in river bank, the path is not solid anymore. It is soil and stones path. Continue walking to the waterfall.

Put on your trekking shoes, if you need to. You can use sandals or wet shoes to walk around.

Put on swimming suit if you would like to join the locals bathing, and jumping to the water from the higher ground.

Some travel tips: after hard rain, the water color can turn brown, not so pretty. So, it is not advised to bathe there.

The exact location of the water fall is in this address. Clicking it will open google map where you can learn the location.
