1. Kanto Lampo Waterfall

Kanto Lampo is one of the most popular waterfalls in Bali, and for good reason!

Kanto Lampo is distinguished by its cascading stream that flows over stepped rocks. You can easily approach the waterfall, and if you dare, you can stand right under its flow. Unlike other waterfalls on the island, Kanto Lampo is not particularly high, but the shape of the rocks and the powerful flow make it particularly spectacular. The soft, wide streams create the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for your photos.

It is often called the King of Waterfalls for its impressive height and stunning natural beauty. In fact, Sekumpul is not one, but a group of seven waterfalls cascading down sheer cliffs surrounded by dense jungle.

The walk from the parking lot takes about 15-20 minutes and does not require any particular physical fitness, making Git Git popular with families and novice travelers.

The waterfall itself is a picturesque and refreshing spot, especially pleasant for swimming or simply relaxing in the shade of the trees, listening to the sound of falling water.
