Bali Waterfalls and Natural Spring

Banjar Hot Springs

The Brahmavihara Arama in Banjar is Bali's only Buddhist monastery. Its handsome structure sits in command of magnificently inspiring views down the alley and sweeps across to the sea. The monastery is around four km up an obvious turn-off from the main road.

Continue on along the road past the monastery, and winding further up into the hills, you'll be rewarded with Pedewa, a Bali Aga village. Another pleasant find is the steaming Air Panans Banjar, or the Hot Springs of Banjar, not far from the monastery. These hot springs are beautifully landscaped with lush tropical plants, and it is recommended that you indulge for at least few hours or days.

The fantastic Pondok Wisata Grya Sar set in the hills very close to the springs, is certainly worth a splurge. The Grya Sari has an expensive restaurant in a lovely setting, or you can eat well at the inexpensive Restoran Komala Tirta overlooking the springs.

Location: Banjar, north of Bali

Blahmantung Waterfalls

With a spectacular drop over 100m, this waterfall near Pupuan is simply amazing, especially during the rainy season. Do be prepared for a bit of a trek up a steep track which is also rough at times.

Location: Pupuan

Daybreak Waterfall

The area immediately west of Lovina has a number of compelling attractions, one of which is the Daybreak Waterfall, or Air Terjun Singsing, 50km west of the middle of the Lovina beach strip. Although not huge, the waterfalls feature a pool underneath, which is great for swimming. During the wet season, the falls are spectacular, but may erratically be reduced to trickles in the dry season.

Location: Lovina

Gitgit Waterfalls

Located 10km to the south of Singaraja, the cascading Gitgit Waterfalls are not far from the main road.

A spectacular 40 metres of crystal clear water rushing headlong into a seemingly bottomless pool that tempts visitors with a tantalisingly refreshing swim.

But should you decide to succumb to the charms of the falls, beware; but not of any physical danger - local legend has it that couples who bath together at the lovely pools will eventually separate.

Location: About 10 Km from Singaraja Town or about 70 Km from Denpasar in the north of Bali

Yeh Sanih Freshwater Springs

A spot well known for its waters are the pools of Yeh Sanih. The attractions here are freshwater springs channelled into clean and tempting swimming pools, amid charming garden surroundings.

Opening Hours: 08:00 - 18:00
Location: About 17 kilometres from Singaraja, north of Bali
