The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"Although Tirta Gangga ($3 entry), a former palace turned lavish water gardens, looks like it has existed for several centuries, it was actually conceived in 1946 by the royal Karangasem family. But its far out east Bali location hasn’t stopped travelers from exploring its magical fountains, shrubs, sculptures, and flowers, or positioning themselves on the octagonal stepping stones and feeding the carp. There are also stone spring water pools and you can swim in one of them. The Tirta Gangga is a Balinese fantasyland—colorful blooms, tiered fountains, mythical statuettes, and ponds, all with the imposing Mount Agung in the backdrop. It’s definitely a mood-lifter. These gardens are a top choice for anyone who enjoy beautiful, imaginative landscapes. It’s at least two hours away from Ubud and Bali's southern beach towns—the remote location is part of the allure—still, aim to arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds." - Travis Levius

Tirta Gangga, Karangasem - Park Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What's the story behind this place? Although Tirta Gangga ($2 entry), a former palace turned lavish water gardens, looks like it has existed for several centuries, it was actually conceived in 1946 by the royal Karangasem family. But its far out east Bali location hasn’t stopped travelers from exploring its magical fountains, shrubs, sculptures, and flowers, or positioning themselves on the octagonal stepping stones and feeding the carp. There are also stone spring water pools and you can swim in one of them. What’s the vibe like in the garden? This feels like an enchanted water theme park, one that's sure to stir your inner child. Do you need a guide? Driver-guides can pick you up from your hotel, whisk you to the gardens, and pinpoint the best areas to explore. Who comes here? Committed travelers who take the two- to three-hour drive to explore eastern Bali. So is it worth the lengthy drive? The Tirta Gangga is a Balinese fantasyland—colorful blooms, tiered fountains, mythical statuettes, and ponds, all with the imposing Mount Agung in the backdrop. It’s definitely a mood-lifter. Why recommend it to a visitor to Bali? These gardens are a top choice for anyone who enjoy beautiful, imaginative landscapes. It’s at least two hours away from Ubud and Bali's southern beach towns—the remote location is part of the allure—still, aim to arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds." - Travis Levius

A peaceful and beautiful place, perfect for a relaxing visit. The gardens and water features are stunning, with spectacular views all around. There are some tourists, but it’s not overcrowded, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. While it’s possible to see everything in about 30 minutes, I highly recommend staying longer to truly enjoy the calm atmosphere and take in the peaceful surroundings. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

A beautiful royal water palace. One of the must see while in Bali. A very well maintained garden to be enjoyed all day. Don’t forget to buy fish food from one of the stalls around the parking lot. We can soak into the pool also, if you bring extra clothes. Then charge up at the restaurant or coffee shop inside the garden. There is also a museum if you interested to know the one who built the garden

Absolutely loved visiting Tirta Gangga! 🌿💦 The gardens are so peaceful and beautifully maintained, with crystal-clear water and stunning views all around. Walking across the stepping stones felt magical ✨ and every corner is picture-perfect 📸. Such a unique place to soak in culture, relax, and snap some amazing photos. Highly recommend! 🙌

The place is stunning – lush gardens, traditional statues, and massive koi fish in crystal-clear ponds. Feeding the fish was a fun (and surprisingly cheap) highlight! That said, it felt a bit too touristy. It’s a shame that many visitors ignore local customs and walk in wearing shorts and sleeveless tops – it takes away from the sacred atmosphere. The entrance fee is also twice the price of other temples we visited, which seems a bit much. Still, we were glad we came – it’s undeniably beautiful and worth seeing once. Just don’t expect a quiet or spiritual experience.

This is a really nice spot with several great places to take photos. It's a small area, but there are many cafes nearby where you can relax after exploring. You can easily cover the entire place in about 30 minutes. One of the highlights is the opportunity to feed the fish, which adds a fun touch to the visit. It's a peaceful place for a quick stop, and you’ll definitely be able to capture some beautiful photos while you’re here. If you're short on time but want to enjoy a charming atmosphere and get some great shots, this is definitely worth a visit. It’s perfect for those who want a simple, enjoyable experience without spending too much time.

Tirta Ganga is such a beautiful place which is nothing but a royal water palace with lots of colourful fish in it and that is the main attraction. The entry ticket to this place is 90k IDR, and the place is maintained very beautifully so you will fall in love at first sight. A must-visit place in Bali to click the best photos with the beautiful backdrop.

A stunning royal water palace with a serene ambiance and breathtaking Balinese architecture. The entrance fee is 45k per person (local) and 90k (foreigner) which is reasonable for the experience. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with koi-filled ponds, elegant stone statues, and fountains creating a truly picturesque setting. A new museum within the complex adds depth to the visit, showcasing the history of the palace and Karangasem royalty. The palace grounds are immaculately clean, and the pathways are well-kept, making it pleasant to explore. Several restaurants nearby offer delicious local food, with some providing a lovely view of the palace. It’s best to visit early in the morning for a quieter atmosphere and softer light for photos. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience Bali’s cultural and natural beauty in one spot.
