Product Info
— What You Can Expect —
Start early at Lempuyang Temple (the famous "Gates of Heaven"). The early morning tip spot on, not just for softer light, but because queues for photos can get long later in the day. On clear days, you'll get that iconic view of Mount Agung framed perfectly between the gates.
Next, head to Tirta Gangga Water Palace, a former royal water garden built by the Karangasem kingdom. It's more than just a photo spot, take time to walk the stepping stones across the ponds and explore the gardens.
Wrap up at Tukad Cepung Waterfall, one of Bali's most unique and photogenic waterfalls. The famous light rays usually appear late morning to early afternoon when the sun is high enough to beam through the canyon. Be prepared for a short trek and a bit of water, but that's part of what it feel hidden and special.
