Indonesia Tukad Cepung Waterfall
One of the hidden waterfalls that is trending on Instagram for recent past years in Bali.
Photography Tips
I've used a 10-24mm lens to frame multiple bracketed exposures on a tripod with this shot. As with any landscape shots involving water, you will need a CPL to remove reflections and enhance colours. Take one or two microfibers cloths in your pocket to keep your lens mist free, along with mountain sandals as you will be knee-deep in water.
The make-shift ticketing booth will open at 8 AM. I arrived here at 6 AM, where I had not even one human be seen, and I could have the place for myself for over 2 hours. Pay on your way out when the crowd arrives. You cannot do a landscape shot when people are standing in front of you.
There's also a smaller waterfall to the right at the bottom of the valley which nobody goes to but can make moody shots. Hint: Use a black mist filter.

Travel Information
Travel by scooter or car. I rented a car and a nice base at Kori Maharani Villas which is only 30 minutes drive from many waterfalls in the area. Just follow google Maps or way directions to the site which directly brings you into the parking lot. There is a small entry fee of Rp 15k (about EUR 1.20)
Walking into the waterfall site from the gate is quite a quick 5-15 minutes descending of stairs, into a very shallow stream. It is an easy pleasurable trek.
