At the Heart of the Action

📍 Kelingking Beach Glass Elevator Project Suspended

Construction on the planned 182-metre glass elevator at Kelingking Beach has been officially suspended after authorities found permit violations and environmental concerns.

  • The project lacked key permits, including those for disaster mitigation and building safety.

  • Local community members and environmental groups raised objections, saying the structure would spoil the natural scenic cliff and risk increased accidents.

  • For visitors: the viewpoint at Kelingking remains open, but any elevator access is on hold.

 

🧗‍♂️ Extreme Park Bali (“Extreme Jump”) Closed

The adventure cliff-jumping attraction known locally as “Extreme Jump” (via Extreme Park Bali) has been closed until further notice due to safety and permit issues.

  • No formal reopening date has been publicly announced.

  • Visitors wishing to participate in high-adventure activities should check locally for the latest status.
