Gitgit waterfall

A visit to the waterfall at Gitgit should be on every tourist's list.

It is about nine kilometres from Singaraja towards the south.
Although the winding road is steep and you have to walk the last part, it is accessible by car or motorbike.
You can park your vehicle at a parking lot on the Denpasar to Singaraja road from where you can see the waterfall.
To get closer, you will need to walk.
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 scene 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 a you approach the waterfall.
A short distance from the waterfall, the fine water spray will cool your body.
Sometimes the atmosphere will become misty.

The waterfall is sixty metres high and as the water falls, it looks like white clouds falling down the mountain one after another.
The falling water almost completely covers the rockface of the fall. If your camera is able, try taking some long exposure photographs.
