Way Kanan

Way Kanan is an administrative regency in Lampung province with Blambangan Umpu as its capital. The area stretches across several districts and sits at an elevation of about 80 meters.

The settlement of Blambangan Umpu was founded by people originally from Tiyuh Tuha along the Way Umpu River. They relocated because regular flooding made their former home uninhabitable.

Agriculture forms the backbone of daily life here, with farming families working the land across multiple communities. The cultivation of rice, corn, coffee, and bananas shapes the landscape and local routines.

The region connects to major transportation routes and lies about 11 kilometers from the Trans-Sumatran highway. A railway line linking Palembang and Bandar Lampung also runs through the area.

The area divides into 15 different sub-districts, including Bahuga, Negeri Agung, and Rebang Tangkas. Each brings its own production patterns that contribute to the region's economic variation.
