The Tirta Gangga
The Tirta Gangga royal water garden, nestled in Bali’s eastern highlands, is a serene oasis constructed in 1946 under the reign of King Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem. Spanning 1.2 hectares, the opulent gardens showcase pools, ponds, and fountains amid meticulously landscaped lawns adorned with statues and tropical flora. Enduring restoration post the 1963 Mount Agung eruption, Tirta Gangga, meaning ‘water of the Ganges,’ houses tiered fountains, stone sculptures, and breathtaking views of northeastern Bali’s rice paddies. A sought-after tourist destination, the site boasts small statues depicting Hindu epics, creating a picturesque setting for Instagram-worthy moments with its renowned koi fish pond.
Amazing Beaches
Lovina Beach, renowned for its dolphin sightings, offers a serene escape on Bali’s northern coast. A full-day tour enhances your chances of spotting these graceful creatures in their natural habitat. The sight of dolphins gracefully gliding through the waters, performing elegant somersaults, and playfully trailing boats is a joyous experience. For devoted dolphin enthusiasts, southern Bali offers close encounters. Lovina’s laid-back atmosphere contrasts with bustling Kuta, featuring inviting beaches and vibrant jukungs launching before sunrise for fishing or dolphin watching. Delaying departure allows for a quieter dolphin encounter amidst the open sea, ensuring a memorable and tranquil experience away from the bustling morning crowds.
Waterfalls
This unique waterfall tucked beneath Tembuku’s jungle caves is unlike any other in Bali. It’s a 15-minute trek down some steep steps, but well worth the effort. While the waters at the base of the falls are too shallow to swim in, you can stand under the fine mist, as rays of light shine down from the cave opening above. This popular photo spot can get quite busy, so visit in the early morning for fewer crowds—though you’d want to catch the midday sun for the best light. The rocks can be slippery, so wear good shoes and avoid the monsoon season when the water levels get high. Visit this waterfall on a tour of Bali’s waterfalls or photo spots, you won’t regret including a stop here.
