About this experience

Eastern part of Bali has always been known to be the home of some of the most sacred buildings given the fact of its deep history as the seat of many ancient Balinese kingdoms from thousand of years ago. As a remote region you'll find more tranquil spots & fresher air here compared to the highly-modernized southern part of Bali. However, due to the distance, you'll need to be prepared to go early before dusk.

Detailed itinerary

Nicknamed “The Gateway to Heaven” this mountain temple has become the top priority for everyone who’s on a mission to capture the most Instagrammable spots in Bali. Located 600 meters above sea level at the hillside slope of Mount Lempuyang in east Bali, the “Gateway” itself offers a backdrop of Mount Agung and will get you a feeling of reaching out to sky to catch a glimpse of cloud while breathing cold and humid air (please remember to cover your shoulder).

Stop 2

Literally means “Blessed Water of Ganges,” this water palace was built and designed by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, the last ruling King of Karangasem who happened to be a prominent canal engineer in 1948.

Tirta Gangga was created to improve the holiness of the spring water and to serve as a place for comtemplation, rest and joy for everyone. The 1.2-hectare palace comprises mainly of ponds, plants and sculptures mixing Balinese and Chinese style. The stepping stone and the fountain are the main spectacle but you can swim in the pond (which is regarded as holy) and feed the fish for great picture and relaxation.

The Hidden Treasure in Karangasem, Bali. With the best Mount Agung view to watch while enjoying your visit. Restaurants (Buffet & Alacarte) and Villas.

Tukad Cepung has a height of 15 meters, and is not directly exposed to the outside like other waterfalls. Rather it is in a stone cave and hidden.

The swing at Uma Ceking Resto and Swing is the main highlight of the attraction. Visitors can enjoy a thrilling swing ride amidst the stunning rice terraces, creating unforgettable memories. Capture this moment as part of your Bali Instagram Tour and make memories to cherish forever.
