HIGHLIGHTS

• Lempuyang Temple

The word Lempuyang derives from ‘Lempu’ meaning light and ‘Yang’ or ‘Hyang’ referring to God. So it literally means ‘Light of God’. This is one of Bali’s most important temple built dramatically across the majestic Mount Agung. As visitors come here, it gains another popular name as ‘Gate of Heaven’. This tour will allow you explore and find out yourself why. Wearing casual Bali dress is required to enter the temple which is made available by the local villagers at the temple entrance.

• Tirtagangga Water Palace

It was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangasem but entirely destroyed by Mount Agung eruption in 1963. Later it was lovingly rebuilt and restored with an authentic touch of royal magnificence.  It demonstrates one of Bali’s finest architectural piece of work. It is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by lush garden, stone carvings and statues.

• Tukad Cepung Waterfall

Our last stop will be to visit Tukad Cepung Hidden Waterfall. It is approximately 1.3 hours drive from Tirtagangga. From the parking lot, we have to walk approximately 20 minutes to get to the waterfall which is beautifully set hidden within a canyon.
