Since access was improved in August, Kanto Lampo waterfall in Banjar Kelod Dangin, Beng village in Gianyar, some 40 kilometers from Denpasar, has become a popular attraction for domestic and foreign tourists.

Previously only used by the local people for fishing, the hamlet residents have built fences and stairs to help ensure guest safety, as well as a parking lot and other public facilities.

'€œWe are planning to build a number of wooden gazebos for visitors to rest in the parking area,'€ said Wayan Sudarja, a teenager from Banjar Delod Dangin.

One popular attraction is at the bottom of the 15-meter waterfall, where the rocks are gently layered and break the force of the falling water, making it possible for guests to sit there and enjoy the refreshing coolness, although caution is needed as the stones are very slippery.

Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the waterfalls attract plenty of people every day, some arriving even before 8 a.m., especially during holidays and weekends.

The waterfall is named after the Kanto Lampo trees found in the area, which bear a sweet fruit every year.

For those looking for a quiet, beautiful place, Kanto Lampo waterfall and the surrounding countryside is one alternative.
