Banyumala Waterfall

On a 30-35 minute drive from Kalibukbuk you can find the Banyumala waterfall in the village of Wanagiri. From the parking lot you have to walk for a bit to the entrance where you will pay the entrance fee of IDR 50.000, on the way you find different warungs. The surroundings are beautiful it is like a big forest (a bit like jungle) with stretched out fields of Hortensias.

The village of Wanagiri is located on +/- 1200 meter because of this the climate is a bit cooler which is good for a long walk. With the entrance you pay IDR 50.000 and continue to walk down, in the beginning it goes down with natural steps, sometimes a bit hard so look out where you walk.

There is a kind of handrail in most places that you can hold on to and sometimes that is good. Closer to the waterfall the trail gets wetter because everywhere there is water running along the wall, occasionally taking a big step to avoid a small stream of water which runs down, but eventually you come down and for sure it is worth it.

They call it the Twin Waterfall but in reality water comes down everywhere. The beauty of this waterfall is the tranquillity that prevails, (still) reasonably quiet with tourists especially if you go early, and the sound of the falling water in combination with the birds and other sounds make it a relaxed place.

You walk around and every where you look you see trees, in the middle is a bridge that takes you to the other side, there are a number of possibilities to sit somewhere and simply enjoy the things around you.
You can swim there as well, the water is of good temperature and there is even an opportunity where you can change.
