Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

Banyu Wana Amertha is a group of four waterfalls in the Wanagiri hills of northern Bali. A forest path leads to each cascade, with bamboo huts, bridges and viewpoints along the way. The falls have different shapes: one spreads into several streams, while another is the largest. You can swim in some of the pools or stand beneath the falling water. The route includes steps and a climb back uphill, so allow time to explore at your own pace.

Four cascades on one trail

Banyu Wana Amertha is in the Wanagiri hills of northern Bali, where four waterfalls sit within the same area. A path connects the falls, with separate routes branching off to reach each cascade. The walk takes you through green surroundings, past bridges and bamboo huts, with viewpoints along the way.

Each waterfall has its own character. One spreads into several streams over a wide rock face, while another is the largest of the group. A different cascade plunges down in a way that lets you walk behind it. Take time at each branch rather than treating the route as a quick walk to a single viewpoint.

Walking, swimming and the return climb

The route has steps and some steep sections. The downhill walk is manageable for many visitors, but the uphill return can feel tiring after exploring all four falls. Wear shoes with grip, especially on mossy stone paths, and take your time on the descent and climb.

Some waterfalls have pools where you can swim, and you can stand beneath the falling water at several of them. The water can be cold. Conditions affect the experience: in the dry season, the pools have been clear enough for swimming. Motorbike rides are available for visitors who would rather not walk the full route or need help on the return uphill section.
