It was a bright day when I went to *Tegenungan Waterfall*. The waterfall is located in *Kemenuh Village*, Gianyar Regency, Bali. A long time ago (about 15 years ago), when this 15-meter-high waterfall attraction opened, there were no shops, restaurants, or parking areas nearby. Today, there are essential facilities such as parking, toilets, and even resting areas for drivers who bring their clients to visit this waterfall.

After purchasing the tickets for 20,000 Rupiah each, my clients and I walked along the road to the ticket checkpoint. We then continued through narrow paths, encountering souvenir stalls and small cafes selling coffee or refreshing drinks—ideal for those who have just returned from the waterfall.
There are approximately 300 steps leading down to the river where the waterfall is situated. The climb back up involves the same 300 steps, and understandably, people may feel fatigued and thirsty during the ascent.
We walked past all the shops until we arrived at the end of the road. From there, we could see the waterfall in the distance, nestled down in the river. It was already a beautiful view from this vantage point. However, to get closer to the waterfall, we had to descend the 300 steps and admire the waterfall from there.
There were already many people down at the waterfall, so there was no reason to linger at this viewpoint. So, we decided to go down to the waterfall.
Along the steps, there were plenty of things to see and do. For example, there were spots to take photos and other viewpoints offering unique perspectives.
As we walked down the steps, I noticed a large restaurant or day club situated beyond the waterfall, overlooking the stunning view. It featured a swimming pool, providing visitors the opportunity to relax and order drinks from the restaurant's bar while enjoying the picturesque scenery of the waterfall.

We just continued our walk through the stairs, arriving on a path by the river. It was an easy walk because the path is concrete. What surprised me was that there was an *ice cream shop* just by the river. My clients offered to buy ice cream, but I politely refused the offer, jokingly saying I was already sweet.
 *Would you like one?*
 *Not my ice cream.*
Then, we walked along the river, getting closer to the waterfall. We saw people playing in the water, taking photos, walking, and enjoying the panorama.
Some individuals ventured into the water to get closer to the waterfall, while others stayed on the side, taking photos with the waterfall as a scenic backdrop.
 *A spider also enjoyed the view of the waterfall, I guess.*
 *People enjoy the waterfall.*

There was another set of stairs leading to the top of the waterfall, on the other side of the river, offering a different viewpoint for taking photos. However, my clients and I decided not to go up the stairs, as we felt that capturing photos from our current vantage point was sufficient.
The climb back up presented a challenge due to exhaustion and the heat on this very bright day. Despite the physical effort, the heat, and the challenging climb, we found our visit to be worthwhile. The bright day and the beautiful waterfall made our walk worth it.
