About this experience
Welcome to a journey to the east of Bali, to the province of Karangasem. You will visit the enchanting palaces of Tirta Gangga and Taman Ujung, which will captivate you with whimsical labyrinths of ponds, fountains, bridges, alleys, dozens of animal and demon statues, traditional to the local culture. And you will also enjoy relaxing on the beach with white sand.
What to expect
Tirta Gangga Water Palace
In the first part of the trip, you will visit the Tirta Gangga Palace and marvel at its breathtaking beauty. The guide will take you through green pedestrian paths and charming bridges along the ponds. You will explore the entire territory of this magnificent complex, enjoying the landscapes, fountains, and well-kept gardens. The Tirta Gangga Palace was built relatively recently - in 1946, but it will remind you of an ancient relic. Bali's climate is such that even ordinary stone houses, gates, and statues are covered with soft green moss within a few months, creating the impression of belonging to a great ancient heritage.
The King's House and the luxurious beach
You will stroll through the ancient royal palace of Taman Ujung, built over 100 years ago by order of the last rajah of the Karangasem principality. According to legend, he personally participated in the construction with ordinary workers. Unfortunately, after a volcano eruption and an earthquake, the palace was destroyed. But now its territory is completely restored, and you will fully enjoy the grandeur of exotic statues, the coolness of the lake, and a walk along the park paths. To finish, you will relax on the White Sand Beach, which will give you a sense of joy from connecting with the island's nature.
