Lempuyang Temple – One of the highest temples in Bali, Lempuyang temple is a sacred Hindu temple standing among the lush hills of Karangasem. The soothing surroundings and the picturesque Gate of Heaven, combined with the breezy atmosphere of the hilly area, has made the temple a favored destination worth a visit during your stay in The Island of Gods.
The name of the temple itself is believed to be taken from the words “lempu” and “hyang”. “Lempu” means light, while “hyang” is a designation for God. Therefore, Lempuyang Temple means a God that shines a bright light. The name is very fitting since the temple is located on the east of the island where the sun can be seen rising in the morning beautifully right through the Gate of Heaven.
The lempuyang temple is a Hindu temple complex of 7 level complex temple from the first temple untill the highest temple on the top of the hill . Here the visitors will have to wear Sarong ( our traditional dress ) which is provided by the villager at the entrance of the temple . With 1700 stairs up to the top of the hill will be great experience , the stunning view of eastern Bali is the prize when we arrive on the top of the Lempuyang hill . On the same way we can visit Tirta gangga water palace.

Tirta Gangga literally means from the Ganges and it is a site of some reverence for the Hindu Balinese. Strictly, the name refers to the water palace built in 1948 by the Raja of Karangasem, Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem. It is, however, the name widely used to refer to the general area which includes the water palace and the lush rural areas around. Tirta Gangga water palace is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues. The one hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangasem but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963. It has been lovingly re-built and restored and has an air of authentic royal magnificence. The centrepiece of the palace is an eleven tiered fountain and there are many beautiful carvings and statues adorning the gardens. The area around Tirta Gangga is noted for its rice paddy terraces.
