Reason 1. The signs

The entrance to Tegenungan Waterfall contains a lovely sign with quotes such as “Mother Erth will cry if you throw away garbage carelessly” and I think this is just gorgeous!

When walking down the track I saw the sign below and the feminist in me instantly reared up and wanted to scream. At first I thought the image was encouraging girls to skip education, career and love to go straight to marriage. But then I calmed down and read the text and realised it was encouraging them not to skip straight to marriage (although that is fine if that is what you choose to do, no judgement here provided it is a true choice).

Reason 2. Glimpses of Tegenungan Waterfall

As you wander down the jungle path you have views of Tegenungan Waterfall through the greenery and some lovely photo opportunities.

Reason 3. You can release your inner child

Stop and watch the water fall against the rocks. Notice the cascading water create a mist that blows into your face. Place a leaf in the pool and watch it get whisked away in the narrow channel. Build a rock cairn or see how far you can throw a rock into the river (avoiding swimming children of course!).

Reason 4. Location

Another reason to visit is the easy location. Tegenungan Waterfall is around 30 minute drive from Ubud and just over an 1 hour from resort towns of Nusa Dua and Kuta.

Combine a trip to Tegenungan Waterfall with

• Yeh Pulu
• Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave)
• Setia Darma House of Puppets

So sweet they included God on this sign post!

Reason 5. Enjoy an ice-cream

No doubt you will be sweaty when you get back up from Tegenungan Waterfall so enjoy an ice-cream with a view before you head off on your next adventure!
