Bali | Mountain Hot Spring by Air Panas Angseri Waterfall
Click to follow, Mi Lu takes you on a virtual tour of Bali. A while ago, I posted photos on Moments of going to a natural hot spring in the mountains. Many friends commented asking where it was, so today I'll give you a detailed introduction. If you like it, you can go next time you come to Bali!
Angseri Hot Spring is located in the Bangli mountains in north-central Bali. It is one of the hot springs favored by locals and has been in operation since 2007. Because it is not in a tourist area, very few foreigners come here, and many tourists have never even heard of it.
From the ticket office at the parking lot to the hot spring, you need to hike about 300 meters along a mountain path.
Along the way, you can enjoy large bamboo forests and terraced fields, and there are groups of wild monkeys in the bamboo forest.
Because it is a purely natural hot spring water, rich in various minerals, it shows this color, not because it's dirty. (Aside: After soaking in the hot spring, my skin really improved. I originally had some 'chicken skin' on my arms. A few days after returning, one day I suddenly found my arms became super smooth, and the little bumps were gone.)
Angseri natural hot spring has one adult pool and one children's pool.
If you want to maintain privacy while bathing in the hot spring, Angseri also has some small rooms separated by bamboo walls. Each enclosed private pool can accommodate up to 5 people. When buying tickets, the staff will ask if you need such a private pool, and the price is calculated per half hour. If you didn't book at the entrance, you can also order temporarily at the public pool, but then if it's full, you'll need to wait (the small pool is cleaned after each group leaves).
It also provides supporting facilities including changing rooms, toilets, and a restaurant (conditions are average, hygiene is acceptable).
We set off from Sanur around 11 a.m. and took a wrong turn on the way, so it took over two hours to get there. But because of that, we got to see more beautiful scenery along the way.
Since Bali is not yet open to tourists, there was no traffic jam at all. The road was completely clear.
Endless rice paddies stretching to the horizon, a boundless green sea.
Because we took the wrong road and lost time, we happened to pass a roadside stall in the rice fields at mealtime. We took off our shoes and sat on the ground. A meal for two cost only 18 RMB, but we enjoyed an endless view of rice paddies—what a great deal!
On the way back after soaking in the hot spring, we passed by Tabanan City Park and saw spectacular stage architecture and a very beautiful sunset.
It is said that (before the pandemic) art events are usually held here every Saturday night.
