Campuhan Twin Falls is located in Banjar Pererenan Bunut, Gitgit and was officially opened to the public in 2004. Prior to that it was rarely visited due to poor infrastructure and lack of promotion. An initiative to rectify this by Drs. I Gede Rinawa, a local villager, has seen it become a very popular tourist destination for people visiting Buleleng.
This twin falls is formed by two rivers, namely the Tukad Yeh Lampah and Tukad Pangkung Dalem and both rivers have been the water source for Singaraja for several years now. Both the waterfalls are 15 meters high and as the local people consider the area to be sacred it is always well maintained and pleasurable to visit.
Compare to the other waterfall in the Gitgit village, this one is quieter. With only three "warungs" selling snacks and drinks you can browse at items for sale at your leisure.
To reach the twin falls you will pass areas that are full of blossoming tropical flowers, along the way you will smell the aromas of the many clove and coffee plantations and can feast you eyes on a multitude of tropical fruits such as jackfruit, snake fruit and durian to name but a few.
The twin falls is around a thirty minute drive from Singaraja and then a comfortable 350 meters walk. Local guides are more than willing to show you around.
