Kanto Lampo Waterfall
@ruslana_vsop Another waterfall near Ubud to visit is Kanto Lampo Waterfall. Different from the famous Tegenungan Waterfall, this one is less famous and is in the middle of the jungle. This makes Kanto Lampo Waterfall as one of Bali’s hidden gems. So, it’s nice for a little tranquil getaway from the crowd of Ubud.
However, as Kanto Lampo Waterfall has been gaining popularity, this gorgeous spot can be packed with tourists too. That’s why it is advisable to go there as early as possible. The path to go down the waterfall itself is an easy one (but can be slippery, so watch your steps!).
Kanto Lampo Waterfall itself is a unique waterfall. It is a large body of water falling down the rocks and into the river. You can get into the waterfall by climbing the rocks. (It can actually produce some epic photos!) But, be careful as the wet rocks are slippery!
