Lembah Pelangi Waterfall

Lembah Pelangi Waterfall sounds unfamiliar for either local or foreign tourists. Lembah
Pelangi Waterfall is located in Sukamaju village, Ulubelu sub district, Tanggamus district,
Lampung province, Indonesia. The access to this place is quite difficult because Ulu Belu
sub district is a remote area with its hilly contours which make this tourist spot elusive.

Lembah Pelangi Waterfall has two levels where the waterfall on the second level has two
branches. The height of the first level waterfall is about 100 meters, while the second
level waterfall is about dozens of meters. The best enchantment of this waterfall is the
rainbow which appears between the valley and the waterfall as the name suggests. The
soft flowing gurgling waterfall sounds is like a chant of nature which can remove the
tiredness of the long trip to go there. Under the waterfall, there are several spots of
warm water which can be an interesting spot for bathing.

for every pair of eyes seeing it. Rocky hills accompanied by leafy trees will actually
soothe both your eyes.
