ARRIVING AT BANYU WANA AMERTHA WATERFALL

The entrance is clearly signposted and the Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls entrance fee is by donation so my friends and I each paid 30,000 IDR to enter.

The locals at the ticket office were so happy to see us because we were possibly the first tourists to ever visit these hidden waterfalls back in November 2017.

We made our way down a dirt track and came across a group of local villagers cutting steps into the earth, making it safe and accessible for visitors.

It is approximately a 20-minute hike down to the falls through some very lush banana plantations. I was hoping to have the spot all to ourselves, though when we got to the bottom there were around 50 local Indonesians.

I thought to myself that it must be a popular spot for the locals and then I watched on and noticed that they were working really hard constructing bamboo bridges, clearing out the rock pools beneath the falls, and planting beautiful flora to add to the ambiance.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT BANYU WANA AMERTHA WATERFALL

When you reach the bottom of the stairs, you will find two epic waterfalls that are within a stone’s throw from each other.

I got chatting with one of the workers and he told me that there are another three waterfalls in the same valley though they were not yet accessible to visitors.

It was truly amazing seeing the amount of effort that goes into making places like these iconic locations to experience when visiting Bali.

The first set of falls reminded me of Bali’s Nungnung Waterfall, with a similar bamboo bridge that stretches across a flowing creek that leads to the rock pools at the base of the falls.

BHUANASARI WATERFALL

The second set of falls is called Bhuanasari Waterfall and it’s very unique.

The water bursts out of a rock wall formation and into a shallow pool that then cascades into a creek that cuts its way down the valley.

The local workers were overly friendly when they stopped for a lunch break, they offered us some coffee and fried bananas.

I originally said no thanks to their offer as I didn’t want to leave the workers short of food and coffee, but they insisted that I joined in on their gathering.

I have no doubt in saying that Indonesians are some of the most generous and caring people in the world.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

I arrived at around 9 am, and the lighting from the sun was perfect to shoot at this time.

We spent at least 2 to 3 hours down at the waterfall, hanging out with the locals, swimming in the rock pools, and grinning from ear to ear at what we had just discovered.

Be sure to put this waterfall on your Bali Bucket List and I promise that you will not be disappointed.

I will definitely be visiting this location again soon to explore the other three hidden waterfalls in this valley.
