Taman Beji Griya Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall hidden in the jungle and part of the sacred temple. Therefore, it is one of the few waterfalls in Bali where you are not allowed to go and swim in a swimsuit. You can dip in the falling stream of the water or the river, but you have to have at least a sarong and a T-shirt.

Another name for this place is Taman Beji Griya Manuaba Temple. It is also well known as Taman Punggul Abiansemal Temple among locals who pray there.

The road to the waterfall is straightforward if you navigate to the GPS position provide here. Also, a waterfall sign is visible on the main road. Once you arrive at the spacious parking place (parking is free), follow the sign "Waterfall" through the small ricefield, and descending several stairs, you will get to the main entrance.

On the left side, you can find a few warungs (restaurants) and changing rooms with toilets. Straight in front of the entrance is the desk where you need to purchase an entrance ticket.

The price is IDR 100,000 (USD 7) if you want to walk, look/bathe at the waterfall and river. You will receive a neck tag which you can later exchange for a drink (coffee or tea) for free.

If you want to pray and perform the so-called Melukat ceremony to purify yourself, the price is IDR 350,000 (USD 24) per person. If you purchase the ceremony ticket, you can also enter the sacred cave with a small waterfall inside, which is otherwise only available for prayers.

If you don't have your own, a sarong will be provided for free. With a sarong equipped, you can now descend approximately 70 steps down the valley.

There is a small sacred pond with a stream of holy water believers use to pray and purify. You can continue left through the small tunnel or cave or right to get directly to the river. We recommend going one way and returning another one. Once you reach the river level, you can admire lovely carvings in the stone in the river bed; those are not ancient but were made relatively recently.

💡 Tip: There is a sign to the "Hidden Canyon Waterfall," don't fall for it. The jungle stairs go to the same waterfall only for prayers you get when you follow the main stairs.

On the way back, you can exchange your ticket for free coffee or tea in the restaurant's area.
