Tukad Cepung Waterfall

The Charm of “Waterfall from the Sky” in Bangli Regency

A Stunning Hidden Waterfall in Bangli Regency

Tukad Cepung Waterfall, a stunning hidden waterfall in Bangli Regency, offers a unique natural panorama with sparkling clear water. Dubbed a “waterfall from the sky,” this phenomenon occurs because sunlight penetrating through the cracks in the cliffs creates a light effect that makes the water appear beautifully sparkling. Although it was only introduced to the public in 2017, this destination has already caught the attention of tourists thanks to its natural beauty.

The name Tukad Cepung itself has its own meaning. “Tukad” means river, while ‘cepung’ refers to a channel, so it can be interpreted as a channel of the Cepung River. The waterfall is sourced from a spring above it that flows through a cave opening, providing an alluring natural atmosphere. No wonder many visitors come to hunt for photos in the various instagramable spots available.

Besides being one of Bangli Interesting Places to Visit, this waterfall area has sacred value for the local community. Since ancient times, Tukad Cepung Waterfall has been used as a location for melukat, a self-cleansing ritual. The combination of natural beauty and cultural value makes it a special place.
