The mountain resort of Bedugul offers visitors to the area not only fresh air and beautiful mountain views and hills, temples, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. but also some waterfalls that scattered around in its near vicinities. They all have one thing in common. They are not located in the main road sides to Singaraja but requires a little effort of walk inside to see each of them. Some only hundred meters away of flat walk on foot while others down and up hills to visit. But they are all accesible to the average tourists of up to 70 years or less of age. One of them is the one that located in the village of Gitgit that known as Air Terjun Bertingkat which stands for tiered waterfall. After 10 minutes of light walk from road side through fresh air green views of scenery on the way you will see the waterfall from its peak down to its base.

The waterfall is beautiful and you can walk in the river because the water is shallow (you can't really swim here) and the cobbles aren't slippery. It's so peaceful here.
Oh, don't forget to bring your own snacks/water, because there's no shop/warung near this waterfall. Just...
Read moreWent there today and this is the only place in Bali where I felt uncomfortable with local guys. They pushed way too much to get a guide (don’t take it it is useless you can just walk down by yourself), then push for a “donation” for the parking. Felt like the guys were not happy that we didn’t take the guide.
The entrance is rp 20k / person and the waterfall are not that amazing. We saw much more beautiful waterfall near Munduk which were much less crowed and with much...
