About Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Tukad Cepung Waterfall is a cave waterfall located in Dusun Penida Kelod, Desa Tembuku, Kecamatan Tembuku, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali, Indonesia. Set inside a high-walled canyon cave, the waterfall is notable for dramatic sunbeams that shine through the cave opening onto the cascade. Surrounded by dense jungle and accessed via stairs and a shallow river walk, it is known for its photogenic light rays and enclosed natural setting.
Visitors guide
Visitors descend several hundred concrete steps through jungle, then wade along a shallow river into a tall, enclosed canyon cave. Inside, a waterfall flows from above through an opening in the cave roof, with sunlight creating visible light rays on clear mornings. The area includes rocky walls, shallow pools, and a narrow gorge. Visitors can explore the cave chamber, view the cascade, take photographs, and walk along the riverbed. The site is natural and compact, with basic pathways and stairs.
