- Tirta Gangga - Tirta Gangga water garden was established in 1948 by the King of Karangasem, Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem. This garden features a unique blend of Balinese and Chinese architectural styles. Spanning 1.2 hectares, the garden is divided into three sections: the lowest level with two ponds and a water tower, the middle level with swimming pools, and the main complex with the King’s rest house. A key attraction here is the opportunity to take photos with colorful koi fish. Visitors are advised to bring cash to buy fish food for feeding the koi and capturing beautiful pictures.
- Ujung Water Palace - This magnificent water palace, officially known as Taman Sukasada Ujung, is situated in the village of Seraya in Karangasem regency. It is a sister site to Tirta Gangga, also built by the late King of Karangasem. The complex features large pools and historic structures set against the backdrop of Mount Agung and the eastern coastline. Despite suffering damage from the 1963 eruption of Mount Agung and a 1979 earthquake, restoration efforts have returned it to its former glory, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The palace showcases a blend of Balinese and European architecture, with three large ponds connected by elegant bridges and pathways, and offers stunning views of the mountains and sea.
- Tenganan Ancient Village - Tenganan Village is home to the Bali Aga people, the original inhabitants of Bali who settled here before the arrival of the Majapahit. The village is famous for the Pandan War (Ngusaba Sambah Festival) held around May or June, and for its double ikat or Gringsing cloth. Surrounded by hills, the village is renowned for its textile production, particularly the Geringsing Cloth.
- Goa Lawah Temple - Also known as the Bat Cave Temple, Goa Lawah Temple is located in Pesinggahan Village, Klungkung regency. Built in the 11th century by the priest Mpu Kuturan or Mpu Raja Kerta, who introduced four key temple concepts in Bali, this temple is significant for the Nyegara Gunung ceremony, which symbolizes the connection between the ocean (Nyegara) and the mountains (Gunung). The temple, situated near the ocean, is paired with Besakih Temple, which represents the mountain. The cave within the temple is home to thousands of bats.

Pura Luhur Lempuyang holds a significant position amongst Bali’s nine directional temples and plays a vital role in shaping the religious and cultural ethos of the Balinese. Nestled on the Lempuyang mountain, it lies roughly midway between Amlapura and Amed, as per bird’s eye view. The directional temples spread across Bali, with Pura Luhur Besakih acting as the central point, and others including Uluwatu, Goa Lawah and Pasar Agung. Considering its significance, it is a common sight to witness Balinese families from across the island, dressed in ceremonial garb and balancing large baskets of food on their heads, visit to seek blessings from the temple priest atop the mountain. Often considered a well-kept secret, the spiritual Lempuyang Temple also boasts an enticing photographic hotspot, with the commanding Mt. Agung in the backdrop.
Note: The temples can be crowded due to a surge of visitors, potentially resulting in a long waiting time even for a single picture. Please ensure your acceptance of this likelihood.
