Lempuyang Gate of Heaven, Tirta gangga & tukad cepung waterfall

★ 5.0 · 4 reviews⏱ 9 hours – 11 hours📍 Indonesia

About this tour

A full-day circuit across East Bali tackling three distinct landscapes: the clifftop Lempuyang temple with its famous gateway, the serene Tirta Gangga water gardens lined with koi, and Tukad Cepung's cave-enclosed waterfall. Nine to eleven hours total, departing from the Ubud area. You'll cover roughly 120 kilometres with a private driver, taking in volcanic terrain, manicured courtyards, and jungle ravines in a single push.

Highlights

  • Lempuyang temple gateway perched high above East Bali coastline
  • Tirta Gangga's ornamental pools and hundreds of koi fish
  • Tukad Cepung waterfall tucked inside natural rock cavern
  • Private driver and air-conditioned vehicle throughout
  • Temple sarong provided; all entrance fees covered
  • Lunch stop at Lereng Agung Restaurant (own cost)

What to expect

Expect a driving day with moderate-to-strenuous walking segments. The Lempuyang climb involves steep steps—doable but relentless—rewarding you with vistas over rice fields and ocean. Tirta Gangga is gentler, a stroll through ornate gardens with photo ops aplenty. Tukad Cepung demands scrambling over rocks and wading through shallow pools to reach the waterfall grotto; your clothes will get wet. All three sites draw visitors, so arrive early in the day where possible. Lunch happens at a restaurant halfway through; budget your own meal costs.

Good to know

Wear proper hiking shoes with grip—temple steps and waterfall rocks are slippery. Bring a change of clothes and waterproof bag for Tukad Cepung. The route isn't recommended if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. Water bottles supplied; carry suncream and insect repellent.
