Kanto Lampo Waterfall is a highly photogenic, multi-tiered waterfall located in Beng Village, Gianyar Regency, Bali, approximately 30 minutes southeast of central Ubud. Unlike traditional vertical falls, its waters cascade down a 15-meter-high stepped formation of jagged black rocks into a shallow, accessible natural pool. Its accessible location and shorter walking route make it suitable for travellers looking for a quick nature stop without long trekking sections.
Since the waterfall can be covered within a shorter duration, Bali tour packages add Kanto Lampo alongside Ubud temples, rice terraces, and nearby waterfalls to create a balanced day itinerary without excessive travel time between attractions.
Kanto Lampo Waterfall, located in Gianyar, Bali, is a 15-meter, multi-tiered waterfall significant for its sacred spiritual role in local Hindu rituals, unique scenic beauty, and community-driven tourism. It is a renowned, easily accessible, and picturesque spot for photography, known for its cascading water over stepped black rock formations.
Its beauty also changes throughout the day, depending on sunlight and water volume. Morning light often creates softer reflections on wet rock surfaces, while heavier monsoon flow gives the waterfall a stronger and wider appearance. The combination of easy accessibility and visually distinct rock patterns makes it one of Bali’s most photographed waterfalls.
The best time to visit Kanto Lampo Waterfall is during the dry season (April to October), specifically arriving early in the morning between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM. This timing avoids heavy midday crowds (10 AM–1 PM) and ensures clear water, as heavy rains in the wet season (November–March) can turn the water brown with runoff.
From Ubud, Kanto Lampo Waterfall is around 30 - 40 minutes away by scooter or taxi. Private taxis usually cost ₹700–₹1,500 one way, depending on vehicle type and pickup location. Travellers staying in Seminyak or Kuta generally take 1.5–2 hours by road. After reaching the parking area, you walk down a short stair route for around 10–15 minutes to reach the waterfall base.
