Tegenungan Waterfall is located in the village of Kemenuh, in the Sukawati District of Gianyar. This is the only waterfall not located in the highlands or mountains. Although not so famous as the Gitgit or Munduk waterfall, it also have its own unique history. It was once a location for bungee jumping.

The place is reachable by hike down hundreds of stairs from the parking lot.  Along the way, you are able to see Tukad Petanu River flowing by. Mind you, you have to climb up that same flight of stairs later and this will test your endurance and strength.

The view is beautiful and serene, with natural environment surrounding the waterfall. Although not so high, the water pouring down the waterfall is strong and hard. The waters that flow through the river is clean and clear, you can even see the fishes swimming about. Few kids were seen frolicking around the waterfall swimming and playing with the waters.




We also passed by a temple however, we decided not to enter but just took a picture of it.
