Banyumala Waterfall

A Hidden Gem in North Bali.

Bali is famous for its stunning beaches and cultural heritage, but beyond the bustling tourist areas lies a world of natural wonders waiting to be explored. One such hidden gem is Banyumala Twin Waterfall,a serene and breathtaking spot tucked away in the lush highlands of North Bali. Surrounded by tropical rainforest and vibrant greenery, this waterfall is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and experience Bali’s untouched beauty.

Banyumala Waterfall does not have an ancient history like Bali’s temples, but it holds cultural and natural significance for the local community. The name “Banyumala” is derived from two Balinese words: Banyu meaning water and Mala meaning purity, representing the crystal-clear water that flows through the rocks and jungle. The area has been carefully preserved by local villagers, ensuring that its natural charm remains unspoiled for visitors to enjoy.
