Kaso River, also known as Ci Kaso is a river in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia, about 140 km south of the capital Jakarta.[1][2]
The Cikaso River originates in North Sukabumi and flows south to the Surade subdistrict in South Sukabumi.[3] The Cikaso waterfall is in the Ujung tourist area between Jampang Kulon and Surade. The waterfalls have a height of almost 80 metres (260 ft), with three parallel drops along cliffs that are about 100 feet (30 m) wide. The falls are accessible from the Ciniti, Cibitung village in the Cibitung Kulon sub-Jampang. They can be reached by foot or by motor boat.[4]
Kaso river is the main stem in the Cikaso drainage basin. The Cikaso basin is bordered by the Cibuni basin to the east, the Cikarang basin to the west, and the Cimandiri basin to the north. All of drainage basins are part of the group of drainage basins of the south coast of Java, where their main stem flow into the Indian Ocean.[5]
