Kanto Lampo Waterfall
Gianyar · Bali · Indonesia
You can skip the Tegalalang rice terraces in Ubud. Nobody will judge you. But skip Kanto Lampo and you'll be doing yourself a disservice, because this is the waterfall that keeps showing up on everyone's Bali feed for a reason.
I went in expecting a nice photo op and a quick dip. What I got was a two-hour queue, a phone that stopped working for half an hour, a power bank that never worked again, and honestly, one of the best five minutes of my whole trip. That's Kanto Lampo in a nutshell. It's stunning. It's also a bit of a mess, in the best possible way.
Here's everything I wish someone had told me before I went.
