Banjar Hot Spring Water

Banjar Hot Spring Water, North Bali

As said, Banjar’s hot springs are located just outside the village; they’re up a side road to your left. The road follows a stream until the valley narrows and a big car park lies in front of you. As it’s heavily touristed, it’s no surprise to find that beyond the car park is a street lined with tourist knick knack shops.

At the end of the street is a motorcycle parking place and an entrance gate (where you pay the small entrance fee) which leads over the now narrow stream to the soak site proper. On the other side of the bridge you pass a 5 by 2 m open water tank with three water spouts dropping water from 3 m height as a sort of water massage.

Besides this, there are two main water tanks, one emanating hotter water, one which overflows from the previous pool. Opposite the entry, is a restaurant perched high above the pools which also incorporates changing facilities. Below the pools is the fast flowing river, above are a few temples.

What makes these hot springs stand out are the tasteful way they have been built. A certain sense of historicness is evident as all improvements have been made by local bricks and stone work. There’s little regarding the exact history of the site. But the neatly sculptured Naga (serpent) spouts could well point to quite some time ago. Other aspects are the local popularity, not for sightseeing but for really soaking.

Naturally the low entry price is part of this. And probably the long existence of such a facility has meant it’s a common thing to do for locals especially as it’s not too far away from a busy market village. And it has possible spiritual value. In Bali water is cleansing much more than in other societies. Quite often temples are built around springs and major temples dot the shores of Bali.
