An hour drive from Ubud in Beng Village, Gianyar, Kanto Lampo Waterfall is a place you can’t miss in waterfall hunting. Not to worry because the path to the waterfall is relatively accessible with paved stairs. Kanto Lampo is quite different from Tegenungan or Tibumana. The water runs down layers of black rock, creating beautiful rippling layers to be admired. There is a perfect spot to take a picture where you can stand on the giant pile of rocks in front of the fall to create that epic photography. Try not to miss to explore the surrounding area to discover a cave, rock carving, and temple where the locals come to pray.

Once you reach the bottom, look up to see the cliffs surrounding the waterfall and pillar light piercing through the passages. Keep in mind to always be respectful of the nature around you for this area is maintained by the locals. Also, always check the water level before heading to the falls.
