Blangsinga waterfall has three strategic and unique locations. The first part is located at the edge of the river with ‘stone water’ namely the spring coming out from chunks of boulder. Local people believe it has healing quality for sprains and fractures. “Cows, pigs or other livestock experiencing fractures are usually invoked ‘medicine’ at this shower,” said I Ketut Sudarpa, one of the management officers.
This river is also taken advantage by housewives who have just given birth to a baby because it is believed to give peace to their baby. Large and small rocks are naturally lined. This location is commonly used by visitors to play with rocks by piling them from large to small, like temples.
In the meantime, in the middle of part the atmosphere becomes more challenging. Visitors can sit on chunks of the local cliff while enjoying the waterfall flowing to the bottom of the river.

The third strategic location lies in the bottom of the river, namely the main waterfall. Visitors can feel the power of water falling from a height. Sometimes they also rejoice while taking bath, splashing or just washing their legs. Here, visitors can take pictures or selfie. “This location is also good for location of pre-wedding photo session,” said Sudarpa while pointing out a unique location to take pictures.
Travelers from Europe, Australia and Asia mostly prefer this location. They mingle with domestic travelers from Surabaya, Jakarta, Kalimantan and Flores. Together with children, relatives and friends, they play with rocks, feel the coolness of water and walk on the bamboo bridge. “On a normal day, more visitors are foreigners. But on national holidays, they will be usually dominated by domestic travelers,” he said.

This object is managed by Blangsinga customary village, but its operation is entrusted to 11 professionals consisting of local villagers. “The waterfall was initially favored by cycling travelers, now it has been well-known and crowded,” he explained.
