Okay, first of all, disclaimer: I would like to say that my physical condition aren't used to this, and I'm not an outdoor-sy type.

It was a rough track, with minimum facilities. Only nature and the help of local who try to maintain the track. It was a combination of all rocky, slippery, with root stairs, and extreme stairs (it's straight, you literally climbing on it)

In short it was hard for a city girl like me.

But it also came with breathtaking sceneries. We also got lucky we met Lutung/langur/ Trachypithecus whom almost rate sights due to black market's activities on our way back.

Before visiting this place, I would suggest you to prepare yourself with exercise. Pack yourself with plenty water, anti slippery sandals, snacks (javanese traditional palm sugar is my go-to), and perhaps a towel.

They have a small sections where you can actually sink in and feel the coolness of purity. 😌 I mean, a cool fresh uber clear water with wee bit of blueish hint, it's like a nature try to tell you what whirlpool are!

Gosh it was like I forgot about the pain I felt before and what would come next on our way back, climbing rocks.

We saw the panoramic view of 'Panorama kapaa biru' and it was soojood when we saw and...

English : This waterfall is to this day with my experience of visiting those of Bali the one that becomes the N ° 1 in my favorites in many ways. We often imagine places based on photos and for my part I always tend to bridle my expectations by reminding myself that often the reality is far from the clichés of social networks. However , there , without a doubt I can tell you that the disappointment was very far from being there and I can even say that it is perhaps the first waterfall after more than 50 visits to Indonesia that made me this WHOUAA effect. Well indeed the path to access is of a higher physical level but I can without hesitation confirm to you that you will absolutely not be disappointed with all your efforts during this dizzying descent. PS: Avoid doing the visit with young children because at certain times the descent turns into a bit of a climb.

français Cette cascade est à ce jour avec mon expérience de visite de celles de Bali celle qui devient la N°1 dans mes coups de cœur à bien des égards. On imagine souvent des lieux en se basant sur des photos et pour ma part j'ai toujours tendance à brider mes attentes en me rappelant que souvent la réalité est loin des clichés des réseaux sociaux. Cependant là sans aucun doute je peux vous dire que la déception était très loin d'être au rendez-vous et je peux même affirmer que c'est peut-être la première cascade après plus de 50 visites en Indonésie qui m'a fait cet effet WHOUAA. Bon en effet le chemin pour y accéder est d'un niveau physique supérieur mais je peux sans hésitation vous confirmer que vous ne serez absolument pas déçu de tous vos efforts lors de cette descente vertigineuse. PS : Evitez de faire la visite avec des enfants en bas âge car à certains moments la descente se transforme un peu...
