Discovering East Bali: The Hidden Jewel of Fame in 2025
While 2025 is not far away, East Bali unfolds into a mystery and beauty destination that wins over the adventurous traveler. International visitors have long made a pilgrimage to the iconic beaches and central hotspots of Bali. East Bali, however, manages to offer something else-a serene and culturally rich experience much in need of more than just one day's itinerary.
Traditionally famous for such iconic attractions as the otherworldly Lempuyang Temple-Gates of Heaven and the photographically perfect Tirta Gangga Palace and Gardens, this part of eastern Bali has been quietly blossoming into a preferred domestic destination for years. One trend of this region inspires international travelers to dig deeper and discover what draws so many local visitors here.
East Bali is so quiet and less crowded compared to the southern coast of Bali, yet it allows one to have an immersive feeling of nature and heritage. This destination would be appropriate for those in search of serenity, which seems increasingly difficult to find in tourist destinations.
Diving into Amed and Tulamben
For ocean lovers, Amed and Tulamben in East Bali are jewels. This is because it houses some of the province's best dive schools, offering a great opportunity to see some incredible underwater landscapes like the USAT Liberty shipwreck and rich coral reefs filled with marine life. The seasoned diver or beginner will be given an opportunity that cannot be paralleled to view the aquatic wonders of Bali.
Tirta Gangga: A Cultural Jewel
The Tirta Gangga Palace and Gardens are still one of the many things to do in East Bali. This vast compound of water gardens, statues, and fountains seems a place of peacefulness and old history. Having received 2,300 visitors during its peak season recently, this place does not feel crowded. There is so much space to spend quiet moments reflecting or to photograph.
The Asta Gangga Museum which was added to the region in December 2024 brought in a new zest to Tirta Gangga. The visitors were able to get to know their history through exhibits of heirloom artifacts that consisted of royal textures and ceremonial keris. This is complimented by well-carved sculpture of Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, the founder of the Tirta Gangga Park who testifies of Karangasem's royal genealogy.
The Emergence of Sustainable Tourism in East Bali
As a place where culture, nature, and history are so harmoniously blended, East Bali becomes an ideal destination for travelers who seek authenticity and sustainability. Getting off the beaten path offers a chance to interact with the local communities, uncover hidden gems, and explore the lesser-seen side of Bali.
