Stop 1

Kanto Lampo Waterfall is a beautiful and easily accessible waterfall located in the Gianyar Regency of Bali, not far from Ubud. Unlike some other waterfalls in Bali that require long hikes, Kanto Lampo is relatively easy to reach, with a short walk from the parking area to the waterfall itself.
This makes it a popular choice for those looking for a scenic, yet convenient, natural spot to visit. The waterfall is unique in that it flows over a series of rock formations, creating a cascading effect rather than a single vertical drop.
The water tumbles down the rocks into a shallow pool, making it a perfect spot for visitors to stand under the falls, take a refreshing dip, or pose for photos. The surrounding jungle setting adds to the beauty, giving the site a tranquil and tropical feel. Kanto Lampo is not as well-known as some of Bali's other waterfalls, but it has been gaining popularity due to its photogenic appearance and easy accessibility.

Tibumana Waterfall is a hidden gem located in the Bangli Regency of Bali, Indonesia. Known for its serene and unspoiled beauty, it is one of the less crowded waterfalls in Bali, offering a peaceful escape from the more tourist-heavy spots.
The waterfall is about a 30-minute drive from Ubud, making it a great destination for those staying in the area. Tibumana is a single-drop waterfall that cascades into a clear pool of water, surrounded by lush greenery and jungle foliage.
The area around the waterfall is tranquil, and the walk to reach it involves a short trek through the jungle along well-maintained paths and steps, passing small streams and tropical plants. The waterfall is considered ideal for swimming, as the pool is calm and not very deep.
Tibumana Waterfall is also associated with some spiritual significance, as it is close to a temple and often visited by locals for religious purposes. Visitors are encouraged to respect the surroundings, especially during any local ceremony

Tukad Cepung Waterfall is a stunning and somewhat hidden gem located in the Bangli Regency of Bali. What makes this waterfall unique is its setting inside a cave-like canyon, where the water cascades down from a rocky cliff into a shallow pool, with sunlight filtering in from above. This creates a magical effect, especially when the sun's rays shine through the canyon, casting beautiful beams of light onto the waterfall and the surrounding walls.

Reaching Tukad Cepung requires a bit of an adventurous trek, as visitors must descend a series of steps and walk through a narrow pathway between rock formations and shallow streams. The journey to the waterfall adds to its allure, making it feel like a hidden paradise tucked away from the usual tourist spots.
