To the East of Bali to the Roots of Faith: Lempuyang & Water Palaces

The «Lempuyang Tour» is a bright jou ey to the easte province of Karangasem, filled with the history of ancient kingdoms, the grandeur of sacred mountains, and azure landscapes of the ocean coast. This route is specially created for lovers of picturesque panoramas, unique architecture, and deep Balinese culture. You will explore legendary temples, royal water residences, and a scenic tropical shore.

Main Highlights on the Route:

  • Lempuyang Temple (Pura Luhur Lempuyang) — one of the oldest and most highly revered temples in Bali, part of the island's nine key spiritual pillars. Sprawling at an altitude of over 1000 meters above sea level, its famous split Candi Bentar gate is known as the «Gates of Heaven» — this is where the legendary postcard view of Mount Agung framed by clouds opens up.
  • Tirta Gangga Water Palace — a former residence of the Rajah of Karangasem, which is a labyrinth of decorative lakes, fountains, stone carved bridges, and statues. The main highlight is a stone pathway right on the water surface and giant golden koi fish that you can feed from your hands.
  • Taman Ujung Royal Palace — a majestic park and palace complex built by the last rajah over 100 years ago. The palace's architecture harmoniously blends Balinese, European, and Chinese styles, and the complex is surrounded by large lakes and beautifully manicured gardens.
  • Charlie's Chocolate Factory — a cozy co er right on the ocean shore featuring unusual fairy-tale bamboo houses, swings between palm trees, and organic Balinese chocolate tasting.
  • Black Volcanic Sand Beach — a picturesque ocean coast with dark sparkling sand formed from volcanic lava, where you can feel the true power of the ocean waves and take beautiful, high-contrast photos.

Went with husband and my mom! Everyone loved it! 🥰 Gates of Heaven is a must, even mom who 'doesn't like walking' was impressed. Koi at Tirta Gangga are huge! Taman Ujung palace is gorgeous for photos. Russian-speaking guide, explained everything, helped mom. Thank you! 💕

Lempuyang is that place that makes you stop and just breathe. Morning mist around the gates, Agung emerging through clouds. I shot on camera and phone — both sets came out incredibly atmospheric. Tirta Gangga is its own story: reflections in water, bridges, koi. Guide never rushed, gave time at every location. Booked via Telegram — reply was instant.

Beautiful places, all photogenic. Gates of Heaven — the main shot, but 30-40 min queue. Tirta Gangga is also great, golden koi swim right up to you. Chocolate factory is more for Insta than for chocolate 😅 Solid full-day tour.

A place with stunning energy! Gates of Heaven is more than a photo spot, it's an experience. Tirta Gangga gave me half an hour of total peace. Swings at Charlie's over the ocean — pure joy! Guide was wonderful, sensed the group's mood.

Absolutely amazing! Gates of Heaven need to be seen in person, no photos capture the scale. And Tirta Gangga is another planet entirely, walking on stones right above the water! Swings at Charlie's factory — adrenaline! Black sand beach is awesome, but the waves there are insane.

Guys, Lempuyang is a must! 🙌 Got there around 10 AM, queue was about 20 min but the photos — fire. Tirta Gangga is super photogenic, golden fish literally swim around you. Also tried the swings at the chocolate factory — content for Insta for a month! Guide was great, always showed the best spots to stand.
