Gitgit Waterfall

This is truly a scenic site, not to be missed if you visit Bali. Located on the left side of the main road to Singaraja from Denpasar, just as the road begins to head down the mountain to Singaraja, it is easily accessible. It takes quite a long walk past a myriad of sarong and handicraft stalls but is definitely worth the trip! Aside from the waterfall's majestic beauty, it beholds a visual revelation. Try looking into the cascades of water for a minute or so, then look at one of the rocks. May sound cryptic, but you will not be disappointed! Approximately 25 mins drive from Bali Handara
