Blangsinga Waterfall Gianyar: A Complete Visitor Guide
Blangsinga Waterfall is the eastern, Saba-side entrance to the waterfall landscape also known as Tegenungan Waterfall. It is in Blangsinga Hamlet, Saba Village, Blahbatuh District, Gianyar, Bali. The Blangsinga/Saba and Tegenungan/Kemenuh entrances sit on opposite sides of the valley, so they can have different roads, tickets, facilities, viewpoints, and rules even though they lead to the same waterfall area.

The waterfall drops roughly 15 metres into the Petanu River valley. Water volume, colour, spray, and pool conditions change after rain. The lush setting is attractive for photography, but slippery rock, strong current, and sudden water-level changes make safety more important than reaching a particular photo spot.
Blangsinga and Tegenungan: Understanding the Two Entrances
Choose the Saba or Blangsinga entrance in your map application if that is the side you intend to visit. Do not assume that a ticket from one side covers the other. Ask the local operator about current access, transfers, facilities, and whether the opposite bank is open before descending.

The verified waterfall coordinates used on this page are -8.5752294, 115.2907014, mapped as Tegenungan Blangsinga in Saba, Blahbatuh, Gianyar. The pin identifies the waterfall area; your final driving destination should still match the correct entrance.
Views, River, and Photography
The route offers valley views, tropical vegetation, rock formations, river scenery, and viewpoints facing the main cascade. Morning is usually more comfortable for walking and gives softer light. Protect cameras and phones from spray, remain behind barriers, and never climb wet rocks or block a path for a photograph.

Swimming and Water Safety
Swimming may only be possible in an area declared safe by the operator. Never swim directly beneath the drop, approach the main current, or enter when rain is heavy, the water is muddy, or warning signs are displayed. A calm-looking pool can become dangerous quickly after rain upstream.

Pool access, river clubs, lifts, decks, and other commercial facilities may have separate rules or charges. Confirm what is included before paying. Follow staff instructions even if older online photos show areas that are now restricted.
Walking Route and Facilities
The descent includes steps, slopes, wet surfaces, and uneven ground. Allow energy for the return climb, wear shoes with good grip, and carry water. The route is not ideal for wheelchairs or strollers without assistance. Warungs, toilets, parking, changing areas, and small shops may be available but can vary by entrance and day.

Best Time, Weather, and Responsible Travel
Early morning is generally the most comfortable time to visit. The wet season can make the waterfall more impressive but also increases the risk of slippery steps, falling debris, and temporary closure. Check Gianyar weather and ask about river conditions before going. Dress respectfully near village and temple areas, keep noise low, take rubbish with you, and do not fly a drone without permission.
From Ubud, the waterfall is a practical south-east Gianyar excursion. From Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, or Canggu, traffic can significantly affect travel time. Nearby itineraries may include other Gianyar cultural sites, but leave enough time for the descent and climb rather than rushing between stops.
FAQ
Is Blangsinga Waterfall the same as Tegenungan Waterfall?
They generally refer to two entrances on opposite sides of the same waterfall and Petanu River valley. Facilities and ticket policies may differ.
Can visitors swim?
Only where the current operator says it is safe. Do not swim under the cascade or during heavy rain and high flow.
How long should I allow?
Allow at least one to two hours for the walk, viewpoints, photographs, and return climb.
Are opening hours and tickets fixed?
No. Hours, prices, and access can change with weather, maintenance, ceremonies, and operator policy. Confirm before travelling.

I’m happy to leave this review because I know Made personally, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best guides and kindest people you’ll meet in Bali.
What makes him special isn’t just his deep knowledge of the island – though that alone is impressive. He knows all the hidden gems, the best times to visit popular spots, and always has interesting stories behind every temple and rice terrace. But more than that, he genuinely cares about the people he’s with. He doesn't treat it like a job; he treats it like he's showing his own friends around his home.
I’ve seen how he goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly, how he checks in on comfort and safety, and how he handles any little issue with a smile. He's reliable, patient, and incredibly warm-hearted. If you're looking for someone who will not only show you beautiful places but also make you feel welcome and looked after – Made is your guy.
I truly hope this comment helps him, because he absolutely deserves more recognition. Thank you, Made, for being the amazing person and guide that you are! 🙏🇮🇩

The Best Tour Guide in Bali!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Made enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make our trip around Bali so special.
Before we even arrived, Made’s communication was amazing. He helped us plan our whole trip, gave us fantastic advice and recommendations, and really took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do. He made everything so easy and stress-free for us.
Throughout our trip, Made looked after us incredibly well. He picked us up, took us to all the different places we wanted to visit, and even showed us some amazing places we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves. His knowledge of Bali is incredible — he knew so much about every place we visited and was always happy to explain things and answer our questions.
What really stood out to us was how kind, caring and genuine Made was. He didn’t just feel like a tour guide; we genuinely felt like we were being looked after by a friend. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe and enjoying ourselves, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
Everyone in his team was also absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional and made us feel so welcome throughout our trip.
Made played such a huge part in making our Bali holiday so memorable. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, kind and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, we would 100% recommend him.
Thank you so much, Made, for looking after us and helping us have such an amazing time in Bali. We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone visiting Bali — and hopefully we’ll see you again one day! ❤️🇮🇩

Очень советую Мади в качестве гида. Он организовывал нам тур на Нусу Пениду, у него много друзей, который организуют вам все что угодно за очень выгодную плату. Мади очень дружелюбный и улыбчивый человек, он знает русский язык, поэтому с ним можно разговаривать и узнавать многое про Бали. Я его всем советую в первую очередь, он может показать вам весь остров и организовать туры на другие соседние острова и вулканы. Спасибо ему большое, нам очень понравилось с ним проводить время. Советуем вам выбрать именно его за его труд, старания и доброжелательность
Мади, спасибо тебе ❤️

Путешествие на Бали – это всегда погружение в мир красоты, духовности и уникальной культуры. Но по-настоящему раскрыть душу острова, прочувствовать его магию можно только с опытным и увлеченным проводником. Нам в этом невероятно повезло – мы встретили Маде!
Маде – не просто гид, он настоящий хранитель традиций и наследник балийской культуры. Он открыл нам не только знаменитые достопримечательности, но и тайные уголки острова, поделился своими знаниями о древних обычаях и верованиях. Благодаря Маде мы смогли:
* Почувствовать энергетику священных храмов: Маде рассказал нам об истории и значении каждого храма, помог правильно провести церемонии и почувствовать связь с духовным миром Бали.
* Погрузиться в атмосферу балийской деревни: мы побывали в гостях у местных жителей, познакомились с их бытом, попробовали традиционные блюда и даже приняли участие в мастер-классах по ремеслам.
* Насладиться природными красотами: Маде показал нам живописные рисовые террасы, вулканы, водопады и секретные пляжи, где можно было отдохнуть от шума и суеты.
Но самое главное – Маде подарил нам незабываемые эмоции, искреннее общение и теплоту. Он отвечал на все наши вопросы, учитывал наши пожелания и создавал атмосферу настоящего приключения.
Мы безгранично благодарны Маде за это удивительное путешествие! Он помог нам открыть для себя настоящий Бали – остров Богов, красоты и гармонии. Если вы планируете поездку на Бали, обязательно обратитесь к Маде – он сделает ваше путешествие незабываемым!

Очень рекомендую этого русскоговорящего балийца! 👍 Экскурсии с ним - это просто супер! 🤩 Он не только рассказывает интересные факты об острове и показывает самые красивые места, но и делится местными фишками, о которых не прочитаешь в путеводителях. 😉 Он очень внимательный и отзывчивый, с ним легко и приятно общаться.

Маде добряк!) очень внимательный, и профессиональный гид! Уже много лет дружим с ним! Провез по всем уголкам прекрасного Бали! Хорошо говорит на русском и английском языках! Аккуратно водит машину! Очень адекватные цены на экскурсии!! Знает все вкусные и красивые места! Поможет со всеми вопросами на Бали, такие как аренда скутера, или аренда жилья! Встретит и проводит в аэропорт, если вы с ребенком то у Маде прекрасные дочки которые с удовольствием побуду няней!))
Всем рекомендую это агенство!!
