Itinerary & Highlights
📍 Lempuyang Temple – The Gate of Heaven
Duration: 2 hours | Admission Ticket Included
Stand before Bali’s most iconic gateway with Mount Agung rising dramatically in the background. This ancient temple, perched high in the clouds, is a powerful spiritual site and one of Bali’s oldest. Enjoy complimentary coffee/tea & local snacks while soaking in the crisp mountain air and sacred atmosphere. (Insta-tip: The “split gate” photo here is a bucket-list favorite, but the peace you’ll feel is even better.)
📍 Tirta Gangga – The Royal Water Palace
Duration: 1 hour | Admission Ticket Included
Stroll through lush royal gardens, ornate fountains, and tranquil koi-filled pools once created by King Anak Agung Anglurah. Learn about the spiritual rituals still held here and feed the vibrant koi fish—a soothing, joyful experience that invites reflection and fun.
(Don’t forget: Stepstones across the water make for incredible photos and magical memories.)
📍 Sidemen Valley – The Soul of East Bali
Duration: 2 hours | Lunch Included at Wapa Di Ume Sidemen
Nestled in an emerald valley beneath Mount Agung, Sidemen offers a glimpse into untouched Balinese village life. Surrounded by rice terraces and forested hills, this peaceful region is perfect for a slow lunch and deep breath.
You’ll enjoy a locally prepared lunch at Wapa Di Ume, with sweeping views of the serene countryside—a feast for both body and soul.
Tukad Unda Dam (Pass By)
Glimpse the unique beauty of waterfall-like cascades flowing over this vital irrigation dam. A curtain of water creates a picturesque moment from your car window—a peaceful visual that mirrors the tranquility of your day.
