Banyumala Waterfall

About this place

Banyumala Waterfall is a waterfall in the village of Wanagiri, Sukasada district, Buleleng Regency in northern Bali, Indonesia, about 12 km southwest of Singaraja and 50 km northwest of Denpasar in a straight line. It opened to visitors in July 2015. The waterfall lies in the green highlands of northern Bali and is known as a twin waterfall, with several streams of water spilling down a single rock face. It is less crowded than Bali's better-known falls because it is far from the southern tourist areas. White streams of water slide down a dark rock wall entirely covered in thick green climbing plants, like a curtain of moss and leaves, falling into a calm pool fringed with ferns and tropical trees. Spray and light filtering through the trees make the air feel fresh. Visitors walk down from the car park on a short path and steps through the forest, and many swim in the pool below the falls. The path can be slippery after rain, so wear suitable shoes; mornings are the quietest time.
