Banyumala Twin Waterfall

From Lovina it is a 40 minute drive to the waterfall. It is located in the village of Wanagiri, see exact location on Google Maps. From the parking lot you have to walk for a bit to the entrance where you will pay the entrance fee (30.000 rupiah), on the way you find different warungs. The surroundings are beautiful it is like a big forest (a bit like a jungle) with stretched out field of Hortensia flowers.


The village of Wanagiri is located on +/- 1200 meter because of this the climate is a bit cooler which is good for a long walk. In the beginning it goes down with natural steps, sometimes a bit hard so look out where you walk.

There is a kind of handrail in most places that you can hold on to and sometimes that is good. Closer to the waterfall the trail gets wetter because everywhere there is water running along the wall, occasionally taking a big step to avoid a small stream of water which runs down, but eventually you come down and it is worth the walk.

They call it the Twin Waterfall but in reality water comes down everywhere. The beauty of this waterfall is the tranquillity that prevails, (still) reasonably quiet with tourists especially if you go early, and the sound of the falling water in combination with the birds and other sounds make it a relaxed place.

The area is really nice and relaxing and everywhere you look you see trees and flowers, in the middle is a bridge that takes you to the other side, there are a number of possibilities to sit somewhere and simply enjoy the things around you.
You can also swim there, the water is of good temperature and there is even an facility where you can change your clothes.

When you go there in the raining season, be careful because the path can be slippery.
