Fresh Water Splashing at Tegenungan Waterfall in Gianyar

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.

Swastika symbol in Bali?

-
Swastika sign can be seen in Bali, especially in Balinese Hindu temple. I must say almost all the Hindu Balinese are familiar to this symbol. Besides temple, one can also see it in houses, or community building. Even the 'Swastika' word is used as a person name, for example, Ketut Swastika. But why and what does Swastika mean? It simply means balance in relationship. The Balinese Hindu see the life is ideal when they live a balanced life indicated by three good relationship. The first is good relationship between human and the Almighty God. All the festivals, offering in temples, praying activity that you witness in Bali are examples that the Balinese really long for a great relationship with Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, The Almighty God. Next, the harmonious relationship among the human race. The Balinese values good relationship between themselves. Many activities in villages in Bali involve community of villagers . When one family in a certain village hold a ceremony such as cr...

Is Cow a Sacred Animal in Bali?

-
The answer you get of this question may vary if you ask different people. The priest may say, yes it is. But many Balinese, although they are Hindu, consume beef. And people in Bali breed cows for meat. You will not see cow wander in the streets, because they are just cattle. Some people don't eat beef because they think they should not eat beef because they think it is a sacred animal. They say they will have a headache if they do so. Well, may be because of the cholesterol or some thing like that. And another thing, we don't consume cow milk or any other milk in the past. We just recently do this, because it is been advertised a lot in the media, that milk is healthy for our body. But many of the older generations, many of our parents or grand parents don't fancy milk. They don't drink milk, they'd rather drink coffee than drinking milk. I can understand that, because milk taste awful sometimes. Oh, did I mention that our cow doesn't produce any milk? Their mi...

Why Can't A Woman in Period Enter A Temple?

"Sorry, I can't go to the temple this full moon. I have my period," that's what Made, a friend of mine, once said to me when we talked about going to a temple. In Bali, women talk openly about their menstruation especially when it is related to temple activities. There is nothing embarrassing about that. But instead of saying in period, they merely say that they have their "monthly guest" coming. When you visit a temple in Bali, you must not be in your period when entering temple complex. Why is that? People, especially the lady tourists, ask with inquisitive and accusing look at me that we don't treat our Balinese women fairly. Okay, let me tell you, that is not the case. There some reasons why people are not allowed to enter the temple, this is called cuntaka (pronounced chun ta ka). If there is a mourning because of there is a death in one family, they can not go to the temple. Because it will cause the temple "leteh" or dirty. The woman wh...
