Tirta Gangga is a beautiful water palace built in 1946 by the last king of Karangasem, Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, and is considered one of the most beautiful and serene locations on the island.

The palace is a perfect blend of Balinese and Chinese architecture, with a pond filled with lotus flowers at its center and numerous fountains and sculptures decorating the grounds. The water palace is surrounded by lush green rice paddies, which add to its peaceful ambiance.

One of the highlights of Tirta Gangga is its refreshing natural spring water pools that visitors can swim in. The water is believed to have healing properties, and the experience of swimming in these clear, cool waters surrounded by beautiful gardens and sculptures is truly magical. You can also stroll around the beautiful gardens and ponds, and admire the intricate carvings and statues that decorate the palace.
