Optional Trip to East Bali

Today we will discover the East Bali Tour. East Bali is covered mostly by the Regency of Karangasem, but actually covers the entire area of Eastern Bali. The “entryway” to East Bali is commonly considered the city of Candi Dasa, which sits on the East Coast of Bali, and is a very popular resort town. Just a bit further south is Padang Bai, which is the main ferry port for Bali, and the entry and exit spot for the Gili islands or Lombok.

First spot will be the Kertagosa, in Klungkung regency, a justice court building dating back to the Klungkung Kingdom period. It consists of two main structures: A grand hall or the namesake Bale Kerta Gosa, featuring ceilings filled with Kamasan or wayang-style paintings, and the Bale Kambang ‘floating' hall or pavilion that's surrounded by a moat. A national heritage site, it is also open to the public.

The complex is a cool retreat in the eastern highlands, perched on the southeastern slope of the island’s highest mountain, Mount Agung. Tirta Gangga, like its royal sister bathing complex, consists of tropical gardens, wading pools, fish ponds, and fountains.
