Beautiful, serene and calming. Best to take a walk in the large garden of this temple and see the beautiful fish pond with hundreds of Koi fish swimming around the stepping pillars that go right till the depth of the pond. A great photo spot, although there no activity there.

Beautiful place to visit. Purely amazing place to spend the afternoon. The statues are beautiful. The fish are impressive and don’t forget to take your swimsuit! For 10k you can swim in those 3 beautiful swimming pools made of fresh water with the fish

We went there early and it was fine to make some nice pictures. Maybe three people who took ages to get the right angle for the 100+ photos with the overfeed fish. It's a great place to walk around and be not to much annoyed by the Instagramers.

Lovely place situated at a serene location. We reached there around 1730 hrs and found no rush there. Weather was perfect and we spent a quality time feeding colorful fishes and enjoying the beauty of the place. Very very relaxing place alwhen crowd is less. Recommend to plan visit during off peak hours only.

There's a hotel within the premises of the water Palace. We checked in there so we could take photos at dawn (few people). People start to flock by 9 am. You could feed the koi! Very beautiful and serene place.

It is a good place to take a walk, chat with your fam/friends and enjoy feeding fish in the pond or enjoy calm swings in the garden there. There are a few restaurants as well inside the place and one can enjoy the view along with some food there. You can also enjoy boating in the pond for a small ticket value. There is a local market right outside and you can shop some souvenirs if you wish to. Overall a very peaceful place with some good picturesque spots.

Welcome, fellow travelers, to the enchanting realm of Tirta Gangga in Bali, Indonesia. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of tranquility, natural beauty, and cultural significance as we explore this breathtaking water palace nestled amidst lush greenery. As you enter Tirta Gangga, a sense of serenity washes over you like a gentle waterfall. This majestic water palace, which translates to "Water of the Ganges," is a testament to the timeless Balinese architecture and the artistic craftsmanship of the region. Every step reveals a new discovery, a captivating blend of intricate stone carvings, sparkling fountains, and shimmering pools that invite you to embark on a sensory journey. The centerpiece of Tirta Gangga is its sacred water gardens. The gardens are adorned with ornate statues, meticulously placed stepping stones, and tranquil lotus ponds that reflect the vibrant colors of the sky above. As you stroll along the garden pathways, the symphony of trickling water and the gentle rustle of leaves create a soothing ambiance, transporting you to a realm of tranquility. Pause for a moment at the main pond, where you'll be mesmerized by the grandeur of the fountain. Water jets gracefully shoot upwards, creating a dance of droplets that catch the sunlight, casting a shimmering veil of mist. Take a deep breath, feel the coolness of the air, and let the tranquility wash over you as you witness the harmonious union of nature and man-made beauty. For those seeking a moment of contemplation, find a secluded spot and meditate by the Lotus Pond. Here, the delicate lotus flowers bloom, their petals unfurling in perfect harmony with the surrounding serenity. It's a place where you can connect with the essence of Bali, find inner peace, and embrace the spiritual energy that permeates this sacred space. Beyond the ethereal beauty, Tirta Gangga holds deep cultural significance in Balinese mythology. The waters of Tirta Gangga are believed to possess sacred powers, representing the eternal cycle of life, purification, and prosperity. Balinese Hindus come here to partake in cleansing rituals, seeking blessings and spiritual rejuvenation. As you explore further, you'll discover the Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace, once the private retreat of the royal family of Karangasem. Marvel at the ornate architecture, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant Balinese motifs. The palace exudes an aura of regality and serves as a reminder of Bali's rich history and cultural heritage. So, my friends, allow Tirta Gangga to transport you to a realm of serenity and natural beauty. Let the soothing waters, lush gardens, and sacred ambiance envelop your senses. In this oasis of tranquility, where nature and spirituality intertwine, may you find a deep connection with the soul of Bali and emerge rejuvenated, inspired, and in awe of the wonders that surround us.

Beautiful place to spend quality time amidst nature. Thrilling experience to feed colorful fishes. Very neat and photogenic place. Visit during late evening hours when tourists are less to enjoy else it will be hassle.

Beautiful, beautiful temple. Buy some fish food to feed the koi fish, that was my favorite part of the whole visit! This was much more worth it than the gates of heaven. Here you actually felt that sense of calm you would want to feel in a temple - not like you were being ripped off just waiting in line for a photo (literally).

Very magical garden with fishponds. You can "walk" on the water and feed the fish. Very nice spots to take good pictures. Definitely worth a visit. Entry fee is 70 K Rupiah. Very clean throughout.

This place is kinda nice. About 1 hour drive from Ubud, located in Karangasem one of the most beautiful part of the island. They allow dogs in so that's great. Overall, the place is quite beautiful with temples and fish. Yes, the fish may look a little scary but are actually harmless *at least if you don't fall into the pond?

Tirta Ganga was a leisure place developed for the Bali King during the 1900s. It's basically a combination of different fountains. Very good scenic place and good for taking pictures. One of the main attractions is floating stones. The ideal time to visit any day is early in the morning when there is less crowd. Because once it's crowded you will not be able to take pictures without people coming in the background. You will have multiple restaurants inside for food options.

If you love fish, nature, garden or temple especially Koi than you must visit this place. Those koi are huge and the scenery is amazing. A perfect place for social media enthusiasts.

In the beginning, this place looks fully crowded, but we escaping from the video and photo hotspots, and then this place develops its magical moment and royal history. Also, it was a very nice view over the rice fields to the volcano

Tirta Gangga is a unique water garden to visit in Bali, built in 1946. You will enjoy walking on the steps on water, and feeding the fishes. There are a lot of shops outside, buy some fish food before entering. When we visited around 10:30-11ish, it was filled with tourists across the garden. The place isn't big, but it will easily take 1hr+ inside as each tourist spends time clicking photos of themselves on the water steps. Depending on where you stay, it will take at least 2hrs each side to visit this place, so please plan your day accordingly.

Beautiful temple. But I didn't recommend this place for tourists. So many seller and tour guide that will charge you a lot. Sorry but this happens with me and other visitor. But it's great view to be seen. I recommend you not to reply anything or take anything from people there or they will ask for money. But buying drink and everything that already written for the price will be good since the temple is so far and you will thirsty after.

I think the most beautiful temple in Bali. Here you can take a photo at the real "Gate of Heaven" along with the staircase leading up there. It was not crowded, we had a guide from the Temple (included in the ticket price) who helped us a lot with the tour and the photos. It is good to give him a tip at the end as well as buy cards from the little guys, the price they sell them is 1000 to 3000 Rupees each. They really appreciate it. The transition to the Temple from the entrance is done by a small electric bus (included in the entrance price) When you get off they will try to sell you different things supposedly for Ceremony, avoid them.

Really grateful to be able to visit this great temple! Beware of the street seller though, as they will try to "force" you to buy sarong and ritual equipments with a ridiculous high price. Just try to ignore them, as you will get all of them at the temple entrance along with the entrance ticket

Amazing temples, definitely the best in Bali! It really is worth the visit. After reading reviews, we were prepared: do NOT buy a sarong, it's included with the entrance ticket; say no to the scooters ("But it's 1km!!" "Don't worry, we walk!" and that was it); say no to the guide, who will try to force himself to come ("I accompany you! Only 150K" We don't want a guide" "I come with you!" "Well, you can come but we are not paying" and that was it). After this situation, we were alone in the temple area (beware: you cannot enter the temples themselves except for praying, but you can still see them from outside the low walls), and had an amazing time. Be ready for the rejections, but after that enjoy Besakih!!

A great place to understand a bit more about the Hindu religion in Bali and its importance to them. It's a big complex of 18 temples and we were lucky to come on the day of their ceremony and see how they practise their religion. The gates are beautiful on the top and the view looking down from there is the best.

Best temple in Bali, it is made out of 5 temples combined into the biggest one in Bali. Worth visiting and if you do so buy offering from the parking (negotiate to around 7000) and climb up to the praying area where you will have a truly Bali experience! Have fun!

Besakih Temple, the Mother Temple if Bali. Attracting people from near and far away. Today on a full moon it is busy and very auspicious to pray with so many together. I am here to give thanks to Mother Bali to have taken me into her embrace for so very long. I am a different person today, since I have arrived 18years ago and I am so very grateful for all the gifts and teachings I have received on Bali. This ancient Temple sight of many temples has a very strong energy and it definitely the temple to come to. Our guide Ketut was very knowledgeable of the ancient history and calm and gentle guiding us through the prayers.

Temple is beautiful. But you have to be careful, because lots of people attacking you and trying to sell bunch of stuff what you don’t need. Sarong( traditional skirt) includes with a ticket on the entrance , so don’t buy it before the entrance. You also don’t have to get guide and pay for him if you don’t want, but if you would like to have a guide- it’s included with your ticket, so he will ask tips at the end. Before I planned visit this place, I read feedbacks of other people, so you kinda aware what to expect and not get disappointed ☺️ Enjoy 💛

Entrance fee is 60k. If they tell you 90k, tell them you do not want the shuttle. The distance the shuttle takes you up is very much walkable. Remember you won't get the shuttle when you come back down. So just save your 30k. You will get a free sarong and a local tour guide with your 60k ticket. After ticket and sarong, do not take anything anyone is trying to hand to you, unless you want to buy them, of course. It was a good temple visit. Wouldn't say it is a must-do.

Amazing huge temple. Actually, several temples are together in the same area. We paid 90k per person, but it was completely worth it. We took one of the local guides for a small voluntary tip, and he explained very well all the interesting details related to the temple/s.

Great place, we paid 100k for a guide, we'll worth it as he took great photos of us and his English is superb. We noticed guides speaking multiple languages including French and German. Suggest going before 11am to avoid the crowds. Bring your own sarong. Don't fall for people selling 'compulsory' offerings containing flowers and incense at the entrance. Buy them if you want to but don't pay more than 10-20k for them (they will try and sell them for 100K). Beautiful 1200 year old temple well worth the trip.

The Mother Temple of Bali is a sacred and significant site, and the experience is truly remarkable. Upon entering, you'll be provided with a guide, but be cautious as some might ask for tips or try to exchange currency – it's best not to engage in such transactions. Instead, take your own pictures and savor the spiritual and cultural experience.

Besakih Temple is a mother Temple in Bali. A huge complex Temple is devided based on grade is Hindu caste where every Group of caste built a complex Temple. Tourists are allowed to entrance the Temple but must wear Balinese cloths and get it after paying the entrance fee. Ticket is 150K per person is quite expensive. Once you arrive at Besakih you Will feel the peaceful ambience and ensure you feel relaxed. Going up to the Temple you can Ridha shuttle bus but or you can walk within 15 minutes to get to the Temple. Highly recommended to visit 👍👍👍

Breathtaking view but challenging for beginners like us, we spent 5+ hours and didn’t make it to the top. It’s usually cloudy and windy up there so keeping warm is necessary.

The Mount Agung in Bali is undoubtedly a breathtaking volcano that captivates both adventurers and nature enthusiasts. With its impressive height of 3,142 meters, it is the highest peak in Bali and offers an unparalleled experience for hikers. Our hike began in the early morning hours at 12:50 a.m. when my friend and I decided to climb Mount Agung's summit. We were aware that this endeavor would be physically demanding and that we needed to be in good physical condition. It is advisable to be fit and prepare accordingly. We started from Pura Pasar, which typically takes around 6 hours to reach the top. We made it in 5 with some breakfast stops included. It is important to note that ascending Mount Agung without a guide is not permitted. We were fortunate to have an experienced guide by our side who safely accompanied us. The ascent to the summit was undoubtedly challenging but achievable. When we reached the highest point, we were rewarded with a breathtaking panorama. The sunrise over Bali was a magical moment that I will cherish forever. The descent was rocky, very steep, and required our full attention. However, thanks to the precautions taken by our guide, we were able to return safely and successfully. The hike to Mount Agung is a unique opportunity to experience Bali from a completely different perspective. I highly recommend Mount Agung to all adventure seekers and nature lovers. An experienced guide is essential to provide safety and guidance. Moreover, there are hardly any tourists at the summit. It is important to be physically fit. In our opinion, the descent was definitely harder than the ascent. Definitely an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience!

I did the Mt Agung Trek with Bagus Bali sunrise trekking tour. Really quick and professional answers on WhatsApp. The trek itself is honestly quite hard but with determination I think most people can complete it. Just go step by step, stay focus and listen to your guide. Speaking of the guide, I had Ketut and he is not only a really great guide but also a really nice person, if he is available he is the one you need. Really pro, really nice and careful. He has a lot to share and he will make this trek even more perfect. Overall it was maybe the best experience of my life, the challenge is so rewarding, the view at the summit is out of this world and it will just leave tou speechless. Can't recommend enough this agency and please ask for Ketut or his friend, they will make sure your trek will be safe and enjoyable.

If you’re in Bali and fond of hikes, tick this off in your list. It is the highest peak in Bali island and the view, the sunrise and the challenge going up is priceless. I started the hike at 1030pm and arrived at the true summit 645am. It’s only 7kms on edelweiss route but it’s steep and challenging due to the pebbles. You can hike on your own but get a guide for your convenience.

We did the hike from Pura Pasar Agung. Tips: be fit, use good shoes with a good profile, bring warm clothes in layers! If it's windy on top it's very cold. (Around 10°C). Sleep before the hike! I would call myself fairly fit, and the hike up was short (4h) but very steep with no flat areas to rest your legs, it's all up at a steep angle. The last third requires almost climbing! Be aware. If you struggle with downhill hikes due to knee issues, don't do it! We started the hike at 1am, hit the top at 5.20am with a break of roughly 30min on the halfway point. Left the peak after sunrise due to rain starting and hit the parking at 10am. Legs shaking. The views are absolutely spectacular!!! Absolutely worth the muscle aches! Our guide was well prepared, carried little gas cooker, water, coffee tea, snacks, camping mattress and walking sticks for us. Choose your guide wisely! (Rajarimba adventure)

Incredible experience. Great hike, with an awesome sunrise. I was offered two options for the hike: 1. Start walking in the night, arrive at the summit for sunrise. 2. Over 2 days: Day 1, start hike and camp on mountain. Day 2, hike to the summit and back down the mountain. We chose to do the trek over 2 days with camping. So glad we did, it made the experience much more enjoyable. We hiked using the Taman Edelweis track and our guides were from Raja Rimba. Can’t recommend our guides highly enough. Incredible service and the meals they cooked us on the mountain were excellent. Brief Itinerary Day 1: We started at 10am on Day 1, broke for lunch at POS 1. Continued hiking through POS 2 to camp. Camp was set up by our guides. They cooked us dinner and made a fire. We watched the sunset. Day 2: Up at 2AM for breakfast. Started hike to summit 3-4AM. Stopped and made a fire near the top before the final push. Summit for sunrise. Back to camp for lunch. Then back down the mountain. Food was included, as well as hiking equipment: sleeping bag, mat, head torch and 1 hiking pole. If your after a good nights sleep you might want to take your own camping mat (they were quite thin) and maybe a thicker, bigger sleeping bag (I am 5ft7” and it didn’t come to my shoulders)! But… for one nights sleep I was happy to be a bit uncomfortable, and not bring the equipment on my holiday. Cost wise as a tourist I paid 1,200,000IDR per person for the camping trip. This included everything I mentioned above. I was quoted 1,000,000 for the 1 night trip. Please consider your fitness it is a very steep hike. Hard on the knees and legs on the way down! Also, check the route your guide will take you. We met a couple at the top who had literally crawled straight up the sheer side of the mountain. They didn’t know there were other routes available!

Very beautiful view, you don’t have to be a professional hiker to clim the volcano but you need to be in a good fit condition. It might seems pretty long but the rewards worth it.

Fantastic hike to arguably the most beautiful sunrise on the island. Despite initial reluctance, we hired a guide and ended up grateful for the experienced companion who set the pace, managed breaks, and, not least, arranged a campfire pause just before the summit sunrise. Support the locals and hire a guide, as the trail is quite long and can be slippery, especially during the descent. Guides equipped with radios can provide assistance even without network reception!

Magnificent You will be astonished to see Mount Agung while sightseeing in various places in East Bali. You will surely want to capture pictures of Mount Agung from each of these spots just because of the sheer astonishment it gives.

If you are struggling to decide if you should go like I was, read this. I was trying to do research to see if we could do it and it was pretty much useless. So we decided to risk it and come back if we could not climb it. For everyone’s reference, I do yoga 3x week. Used to be a runner but I have not trained this year. I also used to indoor rock climb but not lately. We had a phenomenal tour guide that explained the entire route and what to do. Neither one of us was fit but we were the first ones to climb. He explained the technique and gave us advice the entire way up. The entire climb took a little over 3 hours. The first part was easy, like a walk through the woods, with elevation of course. At first I was scared going up because in my head it seemed like a vertical climb. At night you cannot really see much and because of the clouds, the trail is visually cut off. I was terrified, and I am a rock climber (indoor though). But then going down I almost laughed at myself. It’s not that bad and you can always go on your behind and use your arms. If we didn’t have such a phenomenal tour guide and a driver, it would’ve not been the same experience. Make sure you find someone really good that will not ruin this experience for you because I’ve heard stories from other people. Made was not only caring and knowledgeable but has such a wonderful personality. Excellent English! He made us feel safe and helped me when needed. And also made the climb fun and insightful with stories around balinese culture. I would highly recommend going with him as you need a guide to go up and the price for the total package was I believe 750 per person but don’t quote me on that. His name is Made +62 852 37500553

Wow! I’ll remember this hike for the rest of my life. It was a major achievement to make it to the top of this extremely difficult, dangerous, and grueling hike. The guide we had started us in a small village where apparently not many hikers start from. Literally the entire village came out and stared at us while we prepared for the ascent. It was a very insightful experience, and opposite in every way from the tourist trap experience at Mt Batur. We hiked 5 hours mostly in the dark jungle to point two. It was damp, humid, hot, and cold when we stopped. My clothes were soaked through with sweat. The guides set up camp for us and we slept in tents on very thin blankets. I felt cold and very uncomfortable getting maybe 20 mins of sleep the entire night. We got up at 2am and started the last portion of the hike. The path steadily got more difficult and more vertical with loose, unforgiving terrain and less and less oxygen as we got higher. Each hour the guides would tell us, “This part is harder.” It was brutal and oftentimes dangerous, as one could easily slip and fall, sometimes over the edge of a cliff. I thought many times that I might have a heart attack from the low level of oxygen or could easily slip and break something. I mostly focused on breathing steadily and taking one careful step in front of the next. We made it to the first summit right before sunrise. It was such a relief and the light was so beautiful. But the top summit requires walking on a very, very narrow trail that could easily result in falling to one’s death with a slip to the left or right. It was very cold at the summit, and I wish the guides told us in advance to pack warmer clothes and gloves and beanies. But it didn’t matter. I made it! The decent was difficult as well, as it was very easy to slip on loose volcanic gravel. Fortunately I did have high-quality hiking gore-Tex boots which I’m very glad I lugged with me to Bali. I would NOT recommend this hike to your average person. It’s extremely difficult and requires a high level of fitness and mental fortitude. For context I practice yoga very regularly. I do strength training 3 times a week, and regularly hike in the Los Angeles mountains. I can’t underscore how hard it was even for me. I feel like I achieved a huge accomplishment by hiking to the top of beautiful Mt Agung.

My favorite experience in Bali was climbing this beautiful mountain for sunrise. If you are an experienced hiker you do not need a guide (though they might hassle you a bit) The downhill is pretty loose and slippery so it takes about the same time to go down. Seasoned hikers could summit in 3.5 hours while beginners can expect closer to 6 ⛰️

The most incredible views for sunrise at the highest point in Bali! The climb is much harder going down than up, it is very steep so wear good shoes and comfortable clothes, gets very cold at the top before sunrise so at least a jumper/hoody is essential Please use a guide to support the locals! Joining you will be 2 amazing dogs that hike daily, core memories are created here, an unforgettable experience!

Mount Agung, the highest point in Bali, stands at an impressive 3,142 meters and offers breathtaking views. The hike to the peak can be done through various routes, but I chose the longest one from Pura Pengubengan, covering about 14 kilometers roundtrip. Safety and the chance to make new friends were my main reasons for getting a guide. The trekking company： Camp Gunung Agung Via Edelweis Our Guide： I Komang sabda He doesn’t speak a lot of English but very kind and professional. On December 16, I prepared for the hike by having my last meal at 20:00 and taking a short 30-minute nap before being picked up at 22:45 to go to the base camp. At 23:00, I arrived at the base camp to meet the guide and start hiking. I brought my own headlight, but they also had extras available, along with trekking poles for those who needed them. The hike began at 23:21, with many other hikers starting from the same location. We reached the campground around 03:00, where we took a break for tea and a cup of noodles. After waiting for about 90 minutes, we began the final ascent. I ended up hiking the last part by myself and was the third person to reach the peak at 05:23. In terms of difficulty, I found the hike to be easy-intermediate. If you hike it by yourself it should take you less than 7 hours to complete the roundtrip. The challenge came more from descending the mountain due to loose gravel and slippery rocks, especially if you're not wearing the right shoes. Mount Agung itself is a sight to behold. The initial 3 kilometers were in the dark, with thick fog making the path harder to see. As I passed the 3-kilometer mark, the fog cleared, revealing a clear sky filled with stars. The temperature dropped, and the winds became stronger. The camp at 5 kilometers marked a significant drop in temperature, requiring additional layers to keep warm. From the first peak, you could witness the beauty of the sunrise and the breathtaking views of the surrounding clouds and city lights below. The highest point offered even more spectacular views, with a mesmerizing sunrise and an incredible crater emitting smoke as a reminder of its active nature. Standing there, basking in the warm rays of the sun, was a truly magical experience. On the descent, the route became clearer. The first part consisted of rocks and loose gravel, while the latter part had roots, more loose gravel, and mud. I was surprised that my On road running shoes held up well, but I would recommend bringing trail shoes or hiking boots for better grip. Here are my recommendations for anyone planning to hike Mount Agung: - Pack a change of dry clothes and extra socks, as you'll likely sweat a lot and may need them if you get cold. - Wear trail running shoes or hiking boots, preferably waterproof or resistant, for better grip and to keep your feet dry. - Trekking poles are not necessary, but they can be very useful in saving leg strength and maintaining balance on the way down. - Don't forget to wear a hat and bring a raincoat, as the weather can be unpredictable. - While 500ml of water was enough for me during the hike, I would recommend packing at least 2 liters. Snacks are also essential, and I personally packed bananas and energy bars. I hope these recommendations and insights help you plan your own adventure on Mount Agung!

🌄 Majestic Sunrise Climb: Mt Agung 🗻 Ascending through Pura Pasar Agung, the journey to Mt Agung is extraordinary. The temple, nestled at the foot of the volcano, adds a special touch to the experience. Our ascent began at 3 am, setting the stage for a breathtaking sunrise. A suggestion for fellow adventurers: sturdy footwear is a must. The climb falls into the intermediate range, making it accessible for those with a moderate level of climbing experience. From the summit, the panoramic view unfolds, revealing the entire expanse of Bali and its neighboring volcanoes. Undoubtedly, a journey up Mt Agung is a replenishing experience. While the climb can be managed without a guide, it's always a positive and wise choice to support the locals and gain insights into the path.

I did the hike solo and it was fine from Pura Pengubengan. You don't need a guide as long as you're not scared of the dark, you have a good headlamp, food and water. The first part through the first is easy the second is medium as you have to climb rocks and the last part is walking along the ridge to the crater. Most people start around 11pm and take many breaks. If you're in good physical condition, start at 1am and don't stop till the top. You don't want to be at the peak too early because it gets windy. If you want to challenge yourself, I recommend this solo. I only saw groups with guides on my way up. The top is beautiful with amazing views. The crater might be clouded up. You can see mount Rinjani and the sunrise. Enjoy!

1. CHALLENGING: Hiking is my hobby, and I have done many mountains around the world. This one is not easy at all. If you are beginner, don't even try. 2.GOOD Grip: it's very slippery there. Rocks and dust made me fall about 5 times on the way down. 3. GUIDE: I wanted to do it without a guide, but then I found one more person and we shared the price. 1.5m for two. Negotiate a lot! Also, they post there( impossible to sneak in). 4. SLEEP: it's very important to have some good rest before you climb Agung. It can take you about 10-12 hours. 5.WATER: Take 2-3 litters minimum and some snacks. If you find a good guide, he will take some also, for tea and coffee. 6. TO THE TOP: Make sure you get to the highest peak. Easy to get confused.

My first 3000+ with new friends on the way up was great and challenging, with amazing views, for sure will come back

Not much to do or see at Taman Ujung. It is picturesque like the rest of Bali and that is because this was one of the the kings residence. You climb a lot of stairs expecting to see something new but it’s usually just a scenic area. There are definitely better temples to spend your time at. Entrance fee is 75k per person. I don’t recommend.

Amazing palacial retreat apparently for the Royals, open to public for visits. Absolutely huge area filled with beautiful ponds and landscaping. Ver large Walking trails, and lots of stairs to get to the Pavillion on top with great ocean views. Magnificent retreat.

Good place for taking photos and if you love plants and flowers. Beautiful garden and little history of the local king. Spacious and great cared. Prices for foreigners is 75k ( 6$) and 50k (for locals). Light is great if is a sunny day and best spots are for sure the bridges and the lake. Recommended to come here early morning if you want the place more to yourself.

A very wonderful water palace. A royal king built it - we thank you. Such wonderful beauty. The flowers are colorful and smell like a perfume. The water is so tranquil and quiet. You can enjoy the quietness. The walking on the long bridges makes you feel like you are on the water. The Royal engineers placed it in the right place so you can see 2 volcanoe mountain views from the middle palace. Take 72 steps to the top and get another beautiful view of the whole water palace and see mountains and the ocean too!

A true hidden gem and a must visit near Karangasem region. The park/garden itself is huge, clean and well-maintained. There is a white house in the middle of the central pond, connected by 2 bridges. A very beautiful scenery, the perfect spot to take a break. It's still underrated and thus, never crowded.

Beautiful water palace and calm area to take break with stunning views - the light shortly before sunset (4pm) was beautiful. Also it was very empty at that time! I can definitely recommend this palace.

Lovely place to visit. Easy to get to and not expensive. The restaurants close by offer cool refreshments and assortment of food.

Less crowded, peaceful place. Attractive place at Bali, one can plan for photoshoot here. Entry fee is there, can spent around 2hours here, also some veggies and fruits plants can also see especially Balinese variety of vegetables. Well maintained place, public toilets available. Good place to visit family and friends.

Why people seldom mention this place to visit? Absolutely great experience. Beautiful, quiet palace with a lot of photo spots and 2 view points. 75k for the entrance. I recommend to take more than one hour ti spend there. Also you can have a lunch/picnic right there on the grass.

A very scenic garden. If you are willing to climb the stairs as shown in the picture shared, you will be ablw to view the area from the top. You will be able to see the sea. I did not climbed the stairs. One of my friends did and took pictures. Nice view.

Taman Ujung, Karangasem, is One of the most peaceful yet excellent water palaces in east Bali. A truly beautiful garden and a very spacious place. You can stroll around the garden. I recommend if you're in that part of Bali, but the trip here should be paired with some other attractions in the area.

A nice and clean place. The parking spot is big. The garden is spacious. It was not crowded as we were there. You can easily take pictures. On the top of the stairs in the garden you can see the ocean.

We arrived at 15 pm, so it was not too hot for us to explore this place. It was a memorable experience. I thought the place needs more maintenance. Particularly at the main entrance. Rest rooms also need more attention

Had a very pleasant couple of hours walking around this beautiful place. Gardens are well maintained, lots of flowers, central palace had some great photos of a bygone era, the walk over the water to get there was beautiful. Other small temples in various areas of the compound were quite interesting to see, a good view from the highest area. There looked like there was accommodation available but no one staying. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time as it gets very warm walking around

Went here with classmates during weekend. A great heritage left by the regents. Peaceful and calm place to be. Plenty of parking lots, cheap entrance fee. Try to visit after lunchtimebat 2 or 3 pm, since the heat at midday here could burn your skin :)

Beautiful water bodies and palaces. Lots of walking and stairs. The top view is great. Location unique… Ocean on one side , volcanic mountains on the other amidst this beautiful water bodies lawn and palace 👌👌😁

The Royal family members still live on site, so it's truly a living museum. The entrance is 30,000IDR and you will get an information pamphlet about the place. However, with no map, it can get quite confusing to find the places, and except for the receptionist, none of them can speak English. It might worth a visit if you are on a road trip across the town.

Rich with ancient balinese history, There’s a tour with a fee, although the trip was a bit short, its great place to take some pictures.

Quiet, peaceful. Beautiful Palace gardens.

It's so lovely like we live in a real palace. We can feel the charismatic and traditional energy of this palace. Recommended to come here ☺️👍

Quite place with interesting architecture influence from Chinese and Balinese, is different from other buildings in Bali, some antique collection around the buildings and there is a hidden backyard that is super cozy with view to the village nearby

I visited Puri Agung Karangasem as part of a royal heritage tour in East Bali. I was amazed by the architecture and history of this palace, which was built by the king of Karangasem in the 18th century. The palace has a distinctive tower that resembles a pagoda, and a series of rooms where the king hosted his guests. There is also a beautiful garden with a large pool and a view of the mountains. The palace is well-preserved and maintained by the descendants of the royal family, who still live there. They were very welcoming and friendly, and they shared stories and insights about the palace and the culture of Karangasem. They also offered some activities, such as yoga, cooking, and spa, for a reasonable price. The palace is not very crowded, and it offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere. It is a great place to learn about the history and culture of Bali, and to appreciate the art and craftsmanship of the past. I highly recommend Puri Agung Karangasem to anyone who is interested in the royal heritage of Bali.

Probably not worth a stop. Paid 30k entrance. Was given a little pamphlet with some info but without a map it was a little confusing. They were setting up for some event and we were the only tourists that have signed in that day, and none the day before.

A nice Palace to visit if you are in the neighborhood and love history. It takes less than an hour to cover the ground. Not super picturesque but quite charming.

Nice and quite royal palace in the middle of Amlapura. The place is clean and well-maintained. They also provided written guidance regarding the buildings inside and their history.

Still a lot of renovations and construction going on but it will be great when finished! Interesting place, few tourists, lots to see and enjoy!

Located on the side of the main street of karangasem-tianyar. Easy to find since this place is the only one who sold octopus skewer and soup. This place is pretty well known by locals and byfar the best octopus skewer in the karangasem region. For some people especially foreigner will find the food is spicy and it is spicy but also delicious and the main reason people always return to eat here. Dont forget to order Es Campur. One of the best.

This is the best, it's not just octopus satay but tuna satay too, and also you get soup. The taste is good, a little bit spicy but good. And the price is not too expensive

Love local warungs! I wasn’t very hungry and my partner doesn’t eat octopus but I finished Raon/Rawon pretty quickly. It’s perfect amount of spice, wouldn’t say it was too spicy. Anthony Bourdain would certainly appreciate this place if he was still with us :)

Best octopus skewer and soup in town. Have to try when you visit east side of Bali. Perfect grill and not too hard to chew. They also provide fish skewer, but the best is still the octopus. They only accept cash, and stop serving after stock empty. Visit asap because this place way too famous.

The mix soup tuna and gurita was delicious. The sate was subpar and wasnt warm. There was plenty of seatings, but do keep in mine the place is semi outdoor so there’s quite an amount of flies/ants that will be on your food. but if you are ever in Amed or Tulamben, this is worth a try

Just need to remember that if you don't like spicy soup and sauce, it's better to tell the lady there.

Eat Where The Locals Eat - and I could see why the locals consistently came and went with their treats. The Octopus and Fish Sates with an amazing spicy coconut/peanut thick sauce... I could eat all this lot by the bucket load.

Local food We like sate gurita But they don't have not spicy All food here is spicy. Price is good Portion is good

I like satai merlion, tender and fresh... Just through in alley , theres park for 3 car..

In this humble place you'll find the very best in tastes. Pepes ikan, sate ikan and sup ikan in traditional balinese hot spices is one of the best in the island. Beware.. not for delicate tongue.

A must who want to eat the traditional Balinese food when you are in the area of Candidasa ali. Sate lilit Ibu Rengkeg is made from selected sea fish meat without preservatives and processed with traditional Balinese spices.

Nothing to say, just ... Yummy😋😋 👍👍👍

The best satay in town 👍🏽

(Translated by Google) If you're patient enough to eat here, the food is really delicious. Often come here long before it goes viral and busy, still faithfully waiting for the food to arrive. The best view comes after the hardest climb! (Original) Kalau makan disini buat yg sabar-sabar aja ya, makanan enak banget kok. Sering kesini jauh sebelum viral dan ramai, tetep setia menunggu makanan dateng. The best view comes after the hardest climb!

(Translated by Google) Hidden cuisine in this village. The taste of the food is very traditional and delicious. Unique way of cooking and special spices. I like this menu. However, you have to enter the alley from the main road. Those who drive cars find it difficult to park (Original) Masakan tersembunyi di desa ini. Rasa makanannya sangat tradisional dan enak. Unik cara masak dan bumbu nya khas. Saya menyukai menu ini. Namun harus masuk gang dari jalan utama. Yang bawa mobil sulit parkir

One and only place to have the karangasem's specialty. The tempeh is out of this world.

The best meal we have had in Bali! It's the first time we have ever had tipat and it did not disappoint. It was the right level of spice and it was so flavoursome. Definitely recommend on the trip back from Tirta Ganga! We had the vegetarian option which is a bonus!

Simple small warung but always busy..... Very nice n tasty typical Karangasem cuisine... Chicken w belayag (rice cake)... Abit spicy.

Omg, i dont expect too much when for the first time I came here. Their place in a small gang, but surprisingly the "Blayag" was sooooo good! Bomb taste in one plate, sweetness, saltiness, crunchiness, acidity, freshness was in there. Definitely come back! The price for Blayag just 25k.

The Good: Food was flavorful and delicious. The Bad: The location is just slightly off the main path. The Ugly: The lady who serves the food grabs all the food with her bare hand and puts it on your plate. I am not too much of a prude to immediately run out, but she's the same lady who collects cash and cleans the tables. Not certain if she washes her hands each time she grabs food for customers. I noticed this after we ate and went to pay for our food. Needless to say, I will never come back despite the great food. They need to use utensils or wear a glove when plating. Might be ok for Bali regulars who have normalized to the local bacterium and environment, but tourists could have their trip ruined because of this situation.

A Good traditional dish of Karangasem. You can choose between rice or belayag (its more like lontong anyway). The portion was big with affordable price with lots of condiments like ayam suwir, tempe, kering kentang, sayur urap, gorengan, etc The price are cheaper for take away

Flavour bomb in a plate. Succulent rice cake, umami chicken curry, spicy sambal, sweet tempeh. Place is hidden from the street. A must try.

A local joint - but man is this food just super yummy - go there for the food not the athmosphere or service

Delicious, authentic dish, good price idr 20k per portion, car parking available inside, seating for 30 people available.

Halal restaurant serving authentic balinese food. Restaurant have plenty of sitting and knowledgeable staff. Taste good also.

A nice pit stop if you’re ever visiting Tirta Gangga or Lempuyang. We stopped by this place as it was recommend by our hotelier as a nice place to eat when touring the two iconic places. It was located halfway between our hotel and the locations and also has ample parking an lots of seating for groups. It seems like one of those places where tours stop with large groups of people. The ambience is quite nice as the restaurant is outdoor and seems to be floating over a little pond. There are small gazebos and bridges connecting them so the whole experience is quite special. We went with a small group and ordered a few of their dishes, Nasi Campur, Paket Ayam, a soup and kangkung and overall everything was quite tasty. The standout dish was actually the dessert for us which was the Es Buah that came with Durian Ice Cream, Jellys and so many specialty items! It was great to share with our group and after the two trekking areas, this was great for us. For the three of us, we spent 163.000 which is a great price including tax. The only issue we had was that even though we were pretty much the only ones there, the wait staff was not very welcoming. As soon as we sat down they never left our table waiting for us to order and once we finished our meal, it took forever for them to give us our bill. Other than that, it was a fine experience.

Cosy restaurant, friendly staff, and tasty food. The gurame fish cooked in a gravy that was different from other restaurants. The satay prawn also was marinated well. The first time we tried plecing kangkung n fell in love with it😍

I didn’t expect this place to have such a great fish dish. Their grilled fish dishes are really good. I even finished every single drop of their sambal! They have many variety from sweet to sour to spicy version. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to try all their dishes due to time limitation. Service was good too, however they were kind of slow at the same time. I think the pricing was reasonable as well. Try their sambal mango version! For those who love fish, should come by. I will definitely come back again. It’s about 2 hours drive from Tulamben

It is the HALAL local restaurant , they specialize in fish and it fresh from the pool hehehehe.. You can see them catch the fish. The pepes spices a little bit salty, kecombang it is ok not too spicy. The price for 1 package ( rise + fish ) Rp 50,000 & the coconut water is Rp 15.000 ... Who said it was expensive?

Good local spot for all the local food. Ate there with my friend who is a local and he said the food was pretty good as well. So good for foreigner and locals. Warning for foreigners: Their sambal is pretty 🔥

The taste is good. They have a package for 4 people and the price is not really expensive. The food taste is so local but it’s delicious. I came here on the late lunch time but the restaurant still full but they still served us so quick. If you like seafood with local taste then you have to come here.

We ordered 'paket Megibung' with the price of Rp200.000,00 for 4 persons. It consists of fried fish, pepes (steamed fish), rice, plecing kangkung, and 4 pieces of grilled prawns. All fish is Gurame. If you like the taste of aromatic ginger, then you might like the pepes ikan. The only "irritating problem" is they only provide a little sambal (chilli paste) in a little saucer for 4 persons. So, we had to order two more sambal served in a little saucer. One additional sambal costs Rp5.000,00. I also ordered one bowl of 'crab & asparagus soup'. It's a bit too thick for me. But overall the place was okay.

Simply a rip off. For 2 fish and the smallest overcooked hard as a rock prawns we paid over 500k for 3 people. The fish were small and overcooked. I felt soooo scammed by this place. I go to so many restorants in Bali and for this level of pricing the food should be heavenly. Simply stay away from this horrible tourist trap. Go to any other place.

Really good Indonesian food. They specialise in sea food, so if you enjoy that then I recommend getting that. I myself had some fried prawns and chicken, the flavours were really good, sauce was tasty and spicy. Really happy with place and I would eat here again.

The menu price are reasonable but it exclude tax.. so you will be charged of 10% of more of your total price. The food taste are standard but this is good choice when you are in tirtagangga area for vacation.. still recomended this place compared to other.. Better to order food package than single menu. Come here with 4 other friend and order 2 single menu + megibung packet. The total price was 270k + 10% tax Hope they clean the fish pond for better view and atmosphere

I just like everything they had here! Just a little big suggestion, maybe they can add kids menu? The iced tea was taste so strange btw. The pool was dirty maybe because of the rain?

Buffet is a tourist trap. We were taken there by our local driver. The buffet selection is very limited and taste not good, too. Need to buy water even it’s buffet so it’s more expensive than you think. The view is good , right in front of rice field. I guess you should at least go A-la- carte if really want to go. It’s on the right side. Buffet is on the left side.

This is an excellent place to relax and enjoy good food. Location is absolutely beautiful and we had dinner overlooking rice gardens and the mountain. Truly breath taking. Food was very delicious with a great selection from a great priced buffet including tea and coffee. I also tried the Vietnamese drip coffee which was so good! Perfect wat to relax after visiting waterfalls and temples in the area. Highly recommended

Nice location, great view. Food is local, so don't expect something incredible ale specially at breakfast. Internet is only in restaurant, but very-very slow, so can't work from this hotel. So pity.

Stunning view of rice terraces and mt. agu ng in distance can be enjoyed from the restaurant. The food is yummy, all in this restaurant will make your day very special. I've been to this place for many times and still love to come again.

Stunning view! Sounds of cicadas! Friendly staff, clean room, comfort. I lived in a room with a bathroom, I chose it on purpose. But there was almost no hot water, it ran out. And the bath was leaking, the water was on the floor. It was a shame. But the place is very good

We went here for the buffet. We walked to the buffet and asked the employee about the price. He said it's 125k. The food was okay. Not bad but also nothing special. When we wanted to pay the bill was 151.250 RP each and after complaining about that the cashier just took a menu and pointed to the "+21% service fee and tax". Since they did not show us the menu in advance nor did tell us about these horrendous fees we felt like being scammed. Would not recommend this restaurant if you don't want to get ripped off.

Good restaurant with nice view. The food is simple, taste good. The service is good. The view is the best with view of seeing a sleeping volcano, blue sky, cotton cloud, the green terraces and cold - relaxing wind. You should try it in Bali.

The food is not bad, for what you pay you can't ask for more. However, the staff are very serious and not at all pleasant. At the end of the meal we were having coffee and without asking for it they brought us the bill as if they wanted us to leave the place quickly.

I went to restaurant for meal. Tax 21% wow crazy.😱 🤑 Even if Staffs r not smile at all not friendly vibes.😒 Small portion meal as like for kids meal. Why is there no naked guy's photo in toilet? Only naked Balinese woman's photo. Of course we Women are Beautiful even if not naked though Please Respect women!

Great view..and amazing delicious pizza😍. Super friendly staff

Buffet lunch costs 125k excluding tax. Food wasn’t great, this is definitely not the usual Indonesian standards. Please do not come here just for the food. But I must say the view is incredulous. It is very calming to stay at this place and chill.

Spectacular views of Mt.Agung, rice fields, river. Do your body a favor, wake up early and walk barefoot (grounding/earthing) while the grass is still wet with morning dew.

We stopped here for Lunch and we loved it. The view ist amazing and the food was great sweet Soja beans is a must try 🤤

I had such a good stay in this hotel! The territory is well maintained, garden is beautiful. You feel pure nature in there - birds are singing, you feel and bear the wind, smell fresh air. Rooms are in good condition, clean, beds are comfortable :) The view is fantastic, they also have a place to make yoga or meditate with the view on Agung! And the staff is extremely friendly! I really recommend this place 💔

The location is beautiful 🤩,……… but the food is terrible you have to pay 135k for a buffet. But there is not much choice and the food they have is either cold or tasteless. So my advice walk in look at the amazing view, and go back the way you came.
