The 26 best parks and gardens in Karangasem

A beautiful place located just off the road. Peaceful, colorful, and incredibly charming. A very vast area with many nooks and crannies that many people overlook. It's worth buying fish food at the local stalls. It's quite crowded, but the place is worth visiting for its unique charm. Paid parking is available on-site, with plenty of spaces. Restaurants serving good food and quick service are located both on-site and nearby, and prices are practically the same as everywhere else.

Tirta Gangga, the famous “Water Palace” in East Bali, feels like stepping into a dream woven from water, stone, and sunlight. Built by the royal family of Karangasem, this place is surrounded by lush gardens, clear ponds, and sacred springs that shimmer under the Balinese sky. 🌿 The stone paths float gently over the water, and as you step from one lotus-shaped stone to another, koi fish swirl gracefully beneath your feet. Every ripple feels alive — like time moves slower here. The sound of trickling fountains and the scent of blooming flowers make it a perfect escape from the world outside. There’s a quiet peace in this place — a balance between human art and nature’s beauty. You can sit by the pond, dip your fingers into the cool water, and feel a sense of calm that words can barely describe. It’s not just a sightseeing spot; it’s a place where your soul takes a deep breath. 🌸

This was an absolutely beautiful and historic location that feels like stepping into a living postcard. The grounds are impeccably kept, with vibrant plants and flowers adding to the serene atmosphere. There are endless opportunities for stunning photos, including the famous Instagram-worthy stepping stone area, which surprisingly did not have too long of a line even during the busy season. The small museum on-site was both informative and interesting, giving context to the rich history of the site. Visitors were respectful and courteous, which made the experience even more enjoyable. This is a must-see stop for anyone looking to enjoy Balinese culture, history, and breathtaking scenery all in one visit.

We visited Tirta Gangga as part of our East Bali Tour programme. This is a very well maintained and clean place, which was used as a former water palace. We learned it was named after the sacred river Ganges in India. You can hop on and walk on stones to cross the ponds. There are so many well-fed and big koi fishes in ponds that look lovely. We had also visited Ubud Water Palace before, Tirta Gangga is bigger than that so it was worth visiting. There is also a cafe & restaurant you can sit and relax.

I visited Tirta Gangga and it was truly a sight to behold. This former royal water palace is incredibly scenic — a gorgeous blend of tranquil pools, flowing fountains, lush gardens, and traditional stone statues. Everywhere you turn feels like stepping into a postcard. The grounds are beautifully laid out, with stepping stones that take you across the water and let you wander right through the ponds surrounded by koi fish. It’s peaceful and elegant, with a charming, almost dream-like atmosphere that makes you want to take your time exploring every corner. Tirta Gangga is also full of photo opportunities. From the famous stepping stones to the ornate structures and beautifully landscaped gardens, there’s no shortage of stunning backdrops. Whether you’re looking for serene scenery or iconic Bali shots, you’ll definitely find them here. Overall, Tirta Gangga is a must-visit if you enjoy history, culture, and beautiful landscapes. It offers a perfect mix of calm, beauty, and just enough adventure as you hop stone-to-stone through the water. A truly picturesque stop and one of Bali’s most charming sites.

Stopped here as part of our East Bali tour and it was beautiful! The fish are huge and really beautiful to look at. Great place to take some photos and just enjoy the scenery. Definitely would recommend a stop here.

Thankfully not too many tourists with our schedule, so it was easy to capture and create some lovely memories. Hot day, food and drinks were reasonably priced. Organised to leave our travel bags with a local restaurant (after taking out our wallets) for 50.000rp, with the promise to buy a drink later too. All good. Fun to feed the fat fish !

This has sadly become the check box for your Bali trip. So much so like if you haven't taken those special photos at Lempuyang then your trip is incomplete. The peer pressure for social media acceptance is just unreal. The temple and the location is undeniably beautiful. The journey from Ubud or Kuta should take 2-3 hours respectively. However as you may have read in most of the other reviews; the only and only factor is the constant expenditure that you have endure in terms of entrance tickets, shuttle fare, snacks, water etc. The pictures that you see in the all the reviews are the same. There is hardly much to see around if you are going there for those photos. I just wonder who came up with that reflection trick in the first place. This phenomenon has transformed the photo clicking business across Bali. Now it is a multi-million dollar industry. Sarcasm aside; Lempuyang temple is worth visiting. The shuttle ride will be one hell of a roller coaster ride. You can admire the skill of the shuttle drivers on those steep slopes. Food and refreshment facilities are limited. You will need to spend money at the nearby shops for everything that you need while you wait for 2-3 hours for your turn.

Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple is a stunning and culturally rich site, and it truly breaks my heart to give only 3 stars. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the grounds offer countless photo opportunities, including the world‑famous “Heaven’s Gate” view with the mountains perfectly framed behind you. The experience is very well organized with a fair system for guests, calling numbers for photo turns and providing a photographer who uses your phone and a mirror to create that iconic reflection effect. The reason for the lower rating is the wait. Unless you arrive by around 5 a.m., you can expect to wait anywhere from 2 to 6 hours for your turn at the main photo spot. For many visitors this makes the visit exhausting and limits the time you have to enjoy the temple itself. It is still worth seeing for the beauty and cultural experience, but the long wait keeps it from being the magical stop it could be.

This temple 🛕review is going to be a hit 🎯and miss 😖, here’s my honest review 📝. To get 🚶‍♀️to Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple 🛕, you firstly have to park at a common Carpark 🅿️. (See my pics 📸) At this common carpark, you will need to pay 💵 Rp$50,000 to take a bus 🚌up to the hill ⛰️top where the temple 🛕 is actually located. This is a very steep climb 🧗on a meandering road 🏘️, well over 2km, you cannot 🙈⛔️ possibly consider walking 🚶‍♀️🚶up with all the buses 🚌🚍🚎 running at full speed. You will be reminded at this point that women 👩🏻‍🦳👩🏼‍🦰👱🏼‍♀️within their menstrual cycle 🩸will not allowed 🚫 into the temple 🛕. (*With this in mind 🤨, if you are having your period, you can skip this visit completely. Do not contaminate consecrated ground 😔.) Once you get to the top 🔝, you will have to pay 💵 another Rp$70,000 to walk up to the temple. And that’s where they will tell you, in-order to take the famous picture 📸 of the Gates ⛩️ of Heaven, the wait time ⏳ is 2-3hrs.  The walk will take another 10mins from ticket counter to get to the top. Once you are at the top, you can collect a queue ticket 🎟️ and wait for your turn to be called 🗣️ on the loud 📣 speakers and have your photos taken at the gates ⛩️. In-between that, most people walk around, take more pictures and video 📹, or rent the traditional costume 🥻👘👗for another Rp$750,000. Thoughts 🧐 are … the view up there is truly breathtaking 😎. You will get a view like no other heading for miles and miles, it’s pretty amazing. 🌟✨⭐️ The Gates to Heaven will make a perfect IG photo opportunity and that is really beautiful too especially, if it is a clear ☀️ day and the mountain 🗻behind comes out clearly. However, the long wait is something to consider 🧐 and also that short climb from carpark 🅿️ to the temple main door is very steep 🎢 and I think it will present difficulties to the wheelchair 👩‍🦽‍➡️folks and also those with walking 🚷 difficulties.

Is a beautiful turist spot in Bali . You can’t coming here without visiting this Temple . But be prepared to wait in line for 1 1/2 to 2 hours to take the picture at tue beautiful doors with the Volcano behind.! Getting there is to a long trip because traffic is a nightmare in Bali . … but is a nice view and you quill not regret.!

Tourist Trap – Gates of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple Getting here from Ubud takes about 2–3 hours. Once you arrive at the temple, you’re not allowed to drive up with your own car. Instead, you’re forced to take a shuttle bus, which costs 50k IDR per person. However, the shuttle doesn’t take you all the way up to the temple either—you’ll then be directed to motorbike taxis for another 20k IDR per person. You can walk instead, since the distance isn’t too far, but they’ll tell you it is just to convince you to pay. Entrance costs 70k IDR per person. Be prepared to pay for absolutely everything here, usually at prices about 70% higher than normal. For example, a simple bottle of water is 10k IDR. Even the toilets aren’t free, and in some cafés you might be told there are no toilets available at all. With your entrance ticket, you’ll receive a queue number to take photos at the famous “Gates of Heaven.” Waiting time for your turn can be anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. The view is indeed beautiful, but almost nobody actually takes the time to enjoy it—most people are here just to get photos for social media. If you’re genuinely looking to visit a historic temple, this is not the right place for you. The local people here are unfortunately not welcoming; in fact, some can come across as quite rude, seeing visitors only as a source of money. It feels like a poorly managed tourist trap rather than a spiritual site. Honestly, I would not recommend supporting it.

Its a beautiful temple, no doubt. But felt like a tourist trap. If you want to snap your artificially mirrored picture of you at gates, its a long wait. I recommend going early. If you are lucky you can see the mountain behind the gates. It can get foggy and misty in the early hours. However, the queue system is well organised and everyone can go home happy with their Instagramable picture at the gates.

Beautiful experience with amazing views and great photo opportunities! To get the best out of it, make sure to wake up early, this place gets crowded fast. The photo queue can be long, so the earlier you arrive, the earlier your token number. Each person gets 4 poses, and the staff take the photos using your own phone. Definitely worth the early start for such a unique and iconic spot!

Beautiful gardens spread out across a spacious property. Not crowded like other popular destinations in Bali. Still some great photo spots. Colourful gardens. Serene water features. A view of the ocean. Very peaceful.

Taman Ujung Sukasada, often simply called Taman Ujung, is a captivating historical site and former royal water palace of the Karangasem Kingdom in East Bali. Unlike the pure Balinese style of many temples, this complex stands out with its unique and elegant blend of Balinese and European architecture, set across expansive lawns and large, serene pools connected by ornate bridges and pathways. It's a vast, peaceful location that functions more like a beautifully manicured historical park than an active place of worship. The key draw here is the phenomenal natural scenery, offering panoramic views of the entire complex, the shimmering ocean, and the majestic Mount Agung as a dramatic backdrop on a clear day, making it an absolute delight for photographers and a popular spot for pre-wedding shoots. While the entrance fee is sometimes noted as being slightly high for what is essentially a scenic walk, the tranquility and sheer scale of the palace grounds make it worth the trip, especially if you are seeking a quiet escape from the more crowded tourist hubs. For the best experience and photos, climb the impressive staircase leading to the upper viewpoint (Bale Kapal), which provides the most encompassing vista of the pools and the surrounding landscape. The best time to visit is during the golden hour in the late afternoon, as the setting sun bathes the entire site in warm, magical light, highlighting the intricate architecture and enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.

The highlight of my trip to Bali. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. The view is magnificent with a mixed view of garden, historic building, mountain and ocean. It is vast and very open feeling. Totally enjoyed every minute in it. Enjoying a fresh coconut under the tree makes you feel the true relaxation and happiness.

Beautiful place worth a visit. Vast gardens and intriguing history. Get a guide to complete the experience. It's amazing how old this place and still in commendable condition being so close to the sea.

Beautiful water palace, with very few other visitors. Entrance was 100k each. Not a religious site, so no dress code. There are a couple of small cafes insides serving cold drinks - much appreciated. I had read online there is a 500k drone fee, but I asked a security guy once inside and he said "go ahead, no charge"

This water palace is definitely worth a visit. We visited over 10 years ago and then in May 2025. A lot of work has been done to make it a great tourist spot. There is a bit of history, good views and very pleasant to walk around

A visit to this stunning water palace is nothing short of magical. Surrounded by lush green gardens, with the serene beach on one side and majestic mountains on the other, it’s a true feast for the eyes and soul. The natural beauty here feels like a perfectly painted landscape brought to life. Evenings are especially enchanting—when the golden sunset bathes the entire area in warm light, creating a tranquil and dreamy atmosphere. It’s the ideal time to visit, whether you’re capturing photos, enjoying a peaceful walk, or simply soaking in the breathtaking views. At the heart of the palace complex lies a beautifully designed museum, an architectural marvel that reflects both historical richness and artistic elegance. The detailing, the layout, and the surrounding water features make it a place you’ll want to admire up close. This palace is vast, offering ample space to explore at your own pace. It’s perfect for a relaxing stroll, with plenty of peaceful corners to sit and reflect. Whether you're a history lover, a nature enthusiast, or just someone looking to unwind in a spectacular setting, this spot has something truly special to offer. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area—it's a serene retreat that combines nature, culture, and beauty in one unforgettable experience.

I think it was a one off, but the waves were intense! Not safe for young children to go into the water. But locals said normally it's super calm. I still give it a 5* rating. Super chill vibe, reasonable prices for sunbeds and umbrellas, gorgeous views. Nothing really to complain about.

A beautiful location with white sands and turquoise sea. The drive there had spectacular views of the peninsula. The restaurant was prime location but could have been better quality food.

Nice beach. They called Virgin beach because the sand still white after eruption different with others beach around karangasem the sand are black. In Virgin beach many food restaurant or they called WARUNG. and have nice place virgin beach cafe they have nice swimming pool also. and there you can rent also sun lounger with umbrella for chill after swimming.

If you don't mind the drive, this is a great place. White sand, crystal clear warm water, it's a really special place. Getting there can be challenging for some however, so do your diligence. I suggest leaving early in the morning to avoid eastbound traffic

One of the most beautiful beaches we’ve visited – peaceful atmosphere, clear water, and gorgeous views. Whether you admire it from the cliff viewpoint or right at the shore, it’s simply stunning. The vibe is super chill, prices for sunbeds and umbrellas are reasonable, and the breeze makes it extra relaxing. The beach feels natural but also has plenty of services, and the underwater life is rich – we even spotted a turtle! 🐢 Access is possible from two sides, and at both entrances they charge 20,000 IDR per person. Be careful not to miss the turning spot though – the entrance from the main road is very narrow. The service from the nearby warungs is excellent. There’s a nice variety of food and drinks available along the beach, and if you order, you don’t pay for the long chairs – they even provide fresh clean towels. I recommend the fish and seafood 🐟🦐. Snorkeling equipment is also available, and having an ice-cold Bintang here is priceless 🍺. There are only a few sellers walking around, but many skilled masseuses. You should try massage at the beach here. The sea is usually wavy but thanks to the sheltered bay you can enjoy cool water. Still, there are safe spots to swim and enjoy. Overall, a wonderful natural beach with clear water, great food, friendly service, and an excellent vibe. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem! Soft white sand, turquoise water, and a relaxed vibe with small warungs serving fresh seafood. Perfect for swimming or just unwinding away from crowds.

A beautiful, clean beach! The prices for umbrellas are fair, as are those at the restaurant. The food was very good. A wonderful beach for relaxing.

Small former city palace within Amlapura. The grounds consist of a small palace with furnished living quarters and pavilions within a small artificial lake. The grounds are beautifully planted. The excursion destination is a nice change from the typical Bali destinations but not a must.

Beautiful and quiet! Entrance fee is 100K Beautiful gardens and area to walk and take some pictures. No sarong is needed. Enjoy the views.

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.

Absolutely a go-to for the history of Bali. It's where the last King of Bali lived. Loads of information semi museum.

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.

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.

I don't know why isn't this place as popular as the other water palaces in Amlapura but it is a beautiful, spatial place with an interesting history and present (and only 30k per person).

We thought this was just a tourist trap with a few stairs and chairs, but we were wrong. This place is amazing! So much to explore and do. Be sure to go to the highest point of the structure since the view is breathtaking. The bridges sometimes creek due to the bamboo constructions, but it is very safe. Most importantly, take the long bridge to the other side of the pond to relax in the hammocks and chill at a height of 20m!

Nice place to relax and enjoy fresh air. Be reminded to use comfortable shoes. There are some dogs but don't worry because they are very cute and tame. There is a small food stall there where you can buy simple food.

There's so many photo spot for the tourist. And many deck & bridge on every different height that you can climb. But for me it a little bit scary, because less safety tool and I think they're not maintain the place regularly. I saw some parts were a little black and I'm so afraid of rotting

Very rustic, but safe and lots of fun, adventurous and relaxing while enjoying the view. For some even a bit scary and challenging! I would recommend it for a fun 1-2 hours!

So amazing can see serounding from the tree top .also can swim from river come from mountains so cold ,everywhere rice fields so special always windy. One off attraction if you come to BALI . MY HEART ALREADY DROPPED HERE.

Good had fun, have little fear while passing bamboo bridge but it too fun. In goole maps search as " RUMAH POHAN BUKIT LEMPED" . both RUMAH POHAN BUKIT LEMPED and Houses Tree Hill lemped are same place.

Great experience for adult and kids. If you‘re afraid of heights maybe not the best place to have fun

I absolutely loved my visit to Taman Safari Zoo! The animals were clearly well cared for, and it was such an incredible experience to see them up close. The lions were breathtaking, coming right up to the caged vehicle we were in, and the tiger was phenomenal as it leapt onto the truck, giving us an unforgettable close encounter. The elephants were simply beautiful, along with the zebras and so many other amazing animals throughout the park. The staff were fantastic—helpful, friendly, and welcoming—which made the experience even better. To top it all off, we enjoyed a buffet dinner at the on-site restaurant, which offered a delicious and extensive variety of dishes. We were also entertained by a performance. Overall, it was a beautiful place and an experience I highly recommend!

It’s a zoo. Expect a zoo. The drinks and food are expensive. The main show was actually very cool with the “domestic animals” being almost circus trained. I’ve never seen Guinea pigs or house cats perform tricks. They wild animals were less trained but still cool. Coolest thing we saw was the bearcats and the hornbills. My son was taught how to play the Rindik (traditional xylophone) for no cost. That was nice.

Bali Safari & Marine Park was an absolutely amazing experience for our family! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with warm smiles and helpful staff. The park is beautifully maintained, with immersive animal habitats and a perfect mix of education and entertainment. The safari journey was thrilling — seeing animals like elephants, tigers, and zebras up close was unforgettable. The animal shows were engaging and fun, and the cultural performances added a wonderful touch to the day. My children especially loved the interactive experiences and photo opportunities. A big thanks to the team for their friendliness and excellent service. This is a must-visit attraction in Bali that left us with beautiful memories.

The place is of great fun for family, the safari journey in the secured vehicle is great. You get to see alot of animals. The animal presentation shows Tiger, Elephant and Bird are amazing don't miss. It's better to go as early as possible since first show starts at 10:00 am. I recommend the first or basic package since you won't have time for the other options in higert pacakges

We had an amazing experience in Bali Safari. An interesting place to visit especially with children (as adults, we really enjoyed it). You can visit their website to buy the ticket in advance, and the price may vary based on what you want to do. They also offer a night safari. You might want to bring a cap or portable fan because the weather can get really hot most of the time.

We were here with the rest of my colleague and their children, Anita and Shirley, Ashley, Aaron and Arion from Darwin. I stayed for 3days and they stayed longer. At the Safari, we met our tour guide Mr. Prasad, and saw not many animals only few. It feels like we were the last people to visit the Safari because its about to close down. As you can see only the stone animal figures I only captured in the Safari because there were only Monkeys, Elephants, Snakes, Tigers, Birds and Giraff. It's the usual animals of all the Safaris I've been to. There were no more wild animals in Safari.

The Bali Safari & Marine Park is well designed and there are many different kinds of animals and fish. The safari experience itself is okay, and the park definitely provides opportunities to see animals up close and learn more about them. In that sense, I appreciate that the park tries to raise awareness among visitors about different species and the importance of conservation. However, there are also some aspects that personally appeal to me less. For example, I find it unfortunate that there are still shows where animals perform tricks, and that elephant rides are offered. In my view, this is outdated and does not contribute to education or animal welfare. Additionally, I found the sustainability policy somewhat contradictory. For instance, you're not allowed to bring your own (sustainable) stainless steel water bottle into the park, while during the dolphin show they emphasize how harmful plastic is to the ocean. At the same time, plastic Le Minerale bottles are sold everywhere. If the park truly wanted to support sustainability and reduce plastic pollution, affordable water refill stations would be a much better and more credible solution than selling single-use plastic. As a result, the whole thing feels like greenwashing. In short: a beautiful park with great potential and a valuable educational approach, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of animal welfare and credible sustainability efforts.

📍The restaurant is located in the east of Bali Island. In the Karangasem area. 🖼️🌴 It is located in a very picturesque place, in the middle of the jungle, with a stunning view of the mountains. P.S. The mountains will be visible if there are no clouds. All the furniture, decor, and interior design are made in a Balinese style, which is very authentic and beautiful. 🚽 A special feature of this restaurant is the toilet. The toilet itself offers a stunning view of the mountains🙃 📜 The restaurant's menu is designed in an unusual style. It's nice to have a lot of style in the little things. 🍛🍚 Food . Balinese restaurant. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. Beautiful presentation. 🧑‍🍳 The staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. 🙏🏼 I recommend this restaurant if you want to try local Balinese cuisine. You will also enjoy the stunning views of the mountains (volcano) and the atmosphere, style, and local lifestyle. 🤗🫶

what a great experience! We found this restaurant by chance while visiting Tirta Gangga. The target group of this place is certainly not Indonesians, however it did not disappoint in terms of taste. It was simple enough to enjoy and not overly made to the point it was pretentious. Not something I would frequent, but it was a great place to bring overseas guests and introduce them to Balinese cuisine. Staffs were very friendly and the owner herself was present to serve some of the dishes, which I found was a nice little touch of detail.

We visited this restaurant for lunch one afternoon and there was literally no one else there. What a shame. The restaurant is so beautiful. Then it has such great view of the paddy field. They even have the bathroom with a view. The staff is so very nice. And the food is great. We even loved their menu. They have a whole asli Bali (real Bali) theme going on and they have taken it very seriously. Since I am vegetarian, they made all the balinese dishes vegetarian for me. It was so very kind of them. While you are waiting for the food, they serve you rice flour chips with such tasty chutney, you would just want to eat those and nothing else.

This place is outstanding. The local food is prepared with love using very fresh ingredients. The lovely owner greeted us upon arrival and explained all of the beautiful food we would have. The staff are all very pleasant and clearly love where they work. The views are gorgeous and the restaurant is beautifully styled. A hidden gem and totally recommended if you love authentic, fresh food 💜

Amazing authentic Balinese food with ingredients fresh from their own little farm. The view is stunning, and the owner and staff were so warm and welcoming. A true hidden gem in the north of Bali!

What a beautiful place! The set menu was delicious and very satisfying! Such a great day, just a short drive from Candidasa.

What an experience! We had an incredible night, the food, the staff and the venue. You wouldn’t find better anywhere else around the world… well worth the visit. (And don’t forget to go to the toilet)

Good had fun, have little fear while passing bamboo bridge but it too fun. In goole maps search as " Houses Tree Hill lemped". Both RUMAH POHAN BUKIT LEMPED (Actual name) and Houses Tree Hill lemped are same place.

Good place to spend your weekend, nice! Keep safe when you go on top!

Great place with some tree houses also several playground.

Great place for small exercise 🤩 Good vibes❤️

This place was very nice, but i didn't recommended for those have phobia with high

It's a nice place, if you go to this place. You pay fifthteen thousand rupiah for the entrance ticket

Nice treehouse, good for some landscape viewing from the top. Price OK.

Very beautiful garden. The museum is very tiny but the man there is really sweet. He teaches you to write your name in Balinese and if you agree to pay 100k, you can carve it on a little leaf, leave one at the museum for good luck and keep one for you. It's a very relaxing environment 30 min out of Amed.

Such a wonderful experience, honored to have learned about balinese sanskrit and being guest in this local driven institute! Absolutely a must for authentic interesting activity! Suksma

Great experience, learning about the traditional writing and drawing on palmleaves. Fantastic teachers, great, heartwarming, passionate people in an amazing environment. Not comparable with any "Instagram photo spot". Bring at least one hour!

Please donate! Anga was a great guide and keeper of information! Was wonderful to see him carrying on the tradition and teaching to the younger generations + us folks from far away places. I will be continuing learning this tradition on my own to gain further appreciation for the Balinese culture and customs

This Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history & lontar for sure. Has a vast collection of lontar that is sure to please. The knowledgeable staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making it a great experience. There are plenty of interactive activities and educational opportunities available to visitors, making it a great place to spend some time. Highly recommended!

Had a lot of fun learning the history of Balinese manuscripts written on the dried palm-leaf here. We also experienced to create our own! The museum is located in Karangasem, east Bali. The staffs are very passionate and friendly. She patiently taught us to make our own manuscript and explained the history. We also tried the local tea made from shallot. if you love culture and history. It;s a must have to visit here

Such an underrated museum in Karangasem, where you can learn about balinese language and process of lontar / palm leaves as substitute of paper back then. Give a visit if you’re around (or even as your destination)! Such a beautiful place and thank you Bu Wayan for the lessons :)

Nice pond. Absolutely full of lotus. Unfortunately, the day I visited they are all up and ready, but none opened. In a week they will be beautiful. Nice to walk around and open the area to sea. Good view of the outer islands. Guys, there is selling boat trips out and around islands.

We got unlucky and none of the flowers were open when we got there. Also there is a lot of trash in the pond. Overall not a lot of things to see, but may be a nice spot for a quick stop on the way to more interesting places 😅 if you get luckier than us

Nice for a walk before 13pm or so, when the flowers are out. Quite relaxing, not many locals offering something

Beautiful pond right next to beach Spectacular lotus Great to walk around the circuit and good to see people exercising here as well

Nice and peaceful place, good for a short walk

Good bakso (noodle soup with meat balls) checken, pig, cow. Jummie Hidden GEM for tourist, locals know the place

The pool for the temple up the hill across the road. Nice place for an early morning walk around to see the water lillies opening. Needed a little tidying up when we were there, but still pleasant enough with a few decent photo opportunities. .

I went there on a sunday afternoon and there were a lot of people taking a bath and the water was very clear and cold but make me feel so fresh

Not worth the drive, no pool just a canal with lots of people washing their laundry.

Great natural water park

Nice View 👍👍

Clear water

Go in the morning. Just before sunrise, the park is open free for public. After 10 am the is a small fee. It's charming and clean. Local community would jog around the park.

Beautifull flowers here

(Translated by Google) I like the tranquility here, walking on the green grass, hills, looking at the sea view, and looking at the buildings left by the Netherlands. The Water Palace is really green! (Original) 喜歡這裡的寧靜，走走在綠色草地，丘陵上看海景，看看荷蘭留下的建築 水皇宮真的很綠意盎然！

Super cool experience! Recommended

A beautiful pond to walk around, ideal during the morning before 10 am. The water lilies are just as beautiful as lotus and I didn’t know the difference. It does have some garbage floating in it and it would great to get a cleaning crew in there to pick up the trash.

The flowers were not open but it was still a very pretty walking trail. Trail goes all around the lake and views of the hills were lovely. Small beach at the far corner.

The place is a misnomer as it is a lagoon full of Lily plants and flowers instead of Lotus. Nevertheless the place is scenic and worth a visit. The lagoon water is crystal clear and teeming with small fishes Best time to visit is in the early morning when the air is fresh and cool, and the lily flowers all open up. There are two restaurants next to the lagoon.

Went late afternoon and was too hot for the flowers, so popped up early next day and had a beautiful surprise 😮.

Filthy overcrowded and fish all the little ones out of this small lagoon while people swimming on other side

We arrived at 7am to view the lotus in full bloom as we'd passed a few times in recent days later in the afternoon and the flowers were all closed. It was well worth the visit. The flowers were quite spectacular and were best until about 9.30am when they started to close. We walked around the lagoon and chatted to locals exercising and going about their business.

Welcome, my fellow travelers, to the enchanting Lotus Lagoon in Candidasa, Bali, where serenity and natural beauty converge in a symphony of tranquility. Prepare to be captivated as we explore this hidden oasis, a place where blooming lotus flowers and tranquil waters create a haven for the soul. As you step into the Lotus Lagoon, a sense of calm washes over you like a gentle breeze. The vibrant green lily pads and delicate pink lotus blossoms float gracefully upon the tranquil surface of the water, their reflections creating a mirror-like canvas of natural artistry. The air is filled with a delicate fragrance, a sweet floral perfume that lingers in the atmosphere, soothing your senses and inviting you to immerse yourself in the beauty that surrounds you. Find a peaceful spot along the lagoon's edge, where you can sit in quiet contemplation, allowing the sights and sounds of nature to envelop you. Watch as dragonflies dart across the water, their iridescent wings shimmering in the sunlight. Listen to the melodious chorus of chirping birds, their songs blending harmoniously with the gentle rustle of the lotus leaves. In this tranquil setting, time seems to stand still, and the worries of the world melt away. The Lotus Lagoon is not only a visual delight; it also holds deep cultural significance in Bali. The lotus flower is revered in Balinese culture as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. Its ability to rise above the murky waters and bloom in pristine beauty is seen as a metaphor for the human journey towards enlightenment. As you gaze upon these elegant blooms, take a moment to reflect on your own inner journey and find inspiration in the lotus's ability to blossom amidst adversity. If you're fortunate enough to visit during a Balinese ceremony, you'll witness the lagoon come alive with vibrant colors and the gentle flicker of candlelight. Balinese Hindus gather here to pay homage to their ancestors and seek blessings from the divine. The sight of locals in traditional attire, offering prayers and floating small offerings upon the water, is a poignant reminder of the deep spirituality that permeates every aspect of Balinese life. As you explore further, you may come across small pavilions or bale, where you can find respite from the sun's warmth and reflect upon the tranquility of the surroundings. Sit back, relax, and let the serene energy of the Lotus Lagoon envelop you. It's a place to find solace, reconnect with nature, and embrace the inner peace that lies within each of us. So, my friends, allow the Lotus Lagoon in Candidasa to transport you to a realm of serenity and natural beauty. Let the delicate lotus blossoms inspire you to rise above life's challenges and find beauty amidst the chaos. Take a moment to breathe, to listen, and to connect with the gentle rhythms of nature. In this haven of tranquility, may you find the serenity and renewal your soul seeks.

Not the most popular waterfall in Bali, but that was nice because there was no crowd at all . There was a giant golden Hindu statue at the top which is pretty cool And there was decent stairs all the way down. So It was cool. + The drive Up the hill to the waterfall is absolutely beautiful as well. Maybe I like to drive better than the waterfalls.

A beautiful waterfall, not so busy and well worth visiting. From the main road it takes about 10-15mins by scooter, the way is pretty steep and I wouldn't like to do it during/after heavy rains. The caretaker/owner was lovely and friendly. There's no entrance fee but there's a donation box at the entrance. Steps and path are well maintained, there's also a huge gold Brahma statue overlooking the car park.

A beautiful and peaceful waterfall 🌿 There’s no entrance fee — just a small donation, so make sure to bring some cash. And don’t forget a few treats for the local dogs 🐶 — they’re super friendly and love visitors! Such a calm and natural spot, perfect for escaping the crowds and relaxing in nature 💛

Beautiful waterfalls, be careful, about 200 tall steps to the falls! Please wear a sarong if you want to go into the holey water pools! Please respect religious traditions! Donation box, no tickets to enter! Locals are building more for tourists!

This place is wonderful, so cozy, cool, and peaceful! If you're driving, be prepared for a steep, slippery, and narrow road. It's about a 10-20 minute walk from the parking lot to the waterfall.

Beautiful waterfall. A lot of steps going down, respectively up. It took us 5 minutes to go up and we are fit haha. Free to enter with a donation. Prices for beverages are more than fair.

Nice waterfall to visit if you are near by, not touristy, no lines for pictures :) Donation for entrance, Mr Lagun (his family takes care of the place) is very friendly, place is beautifuly taken care of. You can have a drink and rest with a beautiful view.
