Gitgit Waterfall
Gitgit Waterfall
The cascading Gitgit Waterfalls in the south of Singaraja, is a spectacular 40 m of crystal clear cool liquid, rushing headlong into a seemingly bottomless pool of cool refreshment. This alluring pool carries a tale of its own which can only be unlocked by a visit.
A visit to the waterfall at Gitgit should be on every visitor's itinerary. It is about 9 km to the south of Singaraja, in the north of Bali. The path can be considered in two halves. The first part is a stepped concrete path bordered by trees and shrubs on one side and a myriad of colourful shops on the other. Halfway along, the scenery changes and on both sides you can see coffee and clove trees.
It is a refreshing experience to walk in this quiet area where the birds take turns to sing. The air is cool and gradually gets colder as you approach the waterfall. A short distance from the waterfall, the fine water spray is very refreshing, and sometimes the atmosphere becomes misty. The waterfall is sixty meters high and almost completely covers the rockface. If your camera is able, try taking some long exposure photographs.
