Klungkung Tour

Tirta Gangga, Candidasa, Tenganan Bali Aga, Goa Lawah

Our Klungklung Tour takes us south through the traditional fishing village of Tulamben and past terraced rice paddies in the valleys of East Bali as we head to our first stop, Tirta Gangga. This former palace, set on the south-eastern slope of Mount Agung, was once the favorite retreat of the last raja (king) of Karangasem. Here you can wander through tropical gardens, and admire flowing fountains, cool pools, and imposing statues of deities, demons, and mythical creatures. You can also test your balance on the stepping stones that traverse the Mahabharata Pond, while koi swim beneath your feet.

The trip continues past the seaside town of Candidasa’s freshwater lagoon, blooming with pink and purple lotus flowers, to the traditional Tenganan village of Bali Aga. In this ancient village, one of just a handful on the island, cultures, and customs date back centuries.

We then continue to the temple Goa Lawah, which translates as Bat Cave temple. It draws its name from its location by the opening of a cave where thousands of bats dwell. The locals believe that the temple’s location is at a pivotal point on the island that brings spiritual balance to Bali.

The final stop is Klungklung where we’ll visit the royal palace of Kerta Gosa. This important historical site was first constructed in 1686 and is known for its beautiful Balinese architecture and paintings.

We return to Siddhartha through the mountainous area of Kintamani with its beautiful views of Mt. Batur and its crater lake.
