About
The former royal palace of Tirtagangga (which means water of the Ganges, Hinduism's holy river) features tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into bathing pools. Just outside the palace grounds, the views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali are stunning.

It’s all about the fish in the pools. Feeding fish and swimming with a few of them is a super feeling. 50k per person entry. The surrounding inside is clean. Washrooms need to be cleaner. Before you enter people are friendly too. Great natural beauty around. People need to be faster with their personal photo sessions.

I wasn't very impressed with this place. It looked like a custom made place for taking pictures. Pouds filled with fat carp who have been fed too much. In my view you can spend money and time on better places.

Stopped here while touring island. Paid £2.50 for entrance fee and brought some fish food at a stall to feed the koi carp. It was reasonably busy but not overcrowded and scenery is lovely for some photos. You can pay extra and swim in a large pool there which also has paddling pool for young children. Its fun feeding fish from the stepping stones. There is no temple to go inside so you dont need to cover your arms and legs. There are restaurants and toilets as well as a few shops at entrance and a cafe inside

Good place to take pictures with partners, friends, or family. The activity just see, walk around the temple, not so much you can do.

Tirta Gangga is a nice water palace located in Karang Asem area. It is not too big but has nice sceneries and views, worth a visit, and not too far away from Lempuyang Heaven of Gates.

I love the Tirta Ganga temple. It is a beautiful grounds to walk around and admire the massive koi they have raised, of which swim freely in massive ponds.
The park is kept in beautiful condition, and it’s very scenic. I was lucky to go early in the morning so that there weren’t many people at all besides my friends and me.

Beautiful place where you can pet a fish!!!
Fish is huge here and its so fun to feed it.
The place itself is beautiful and it is considered a Holy Water place by Indonesian people + in the past it was an Emperor palace! Good vibes + must visit!

While on a car tour of the local area our guide took us here. We all loved it. The pools were just beautiful, we bought fish food and fed the fish and jumped across the pools. Such a memorable place to visit.

Hi. There is no dress code required for the water palace and you do not have to wear a sarong.

They do have a few ramps here and there but stones pretty rough. Just ask a few friendly Indonesians or other tourists to help you over the difficult bits. You'll be fine.

Hi, how much is the entrance fee?

I think it was like $1 or $2
And then you had to pay to swim in the pool that was like a donation so we paid .50cents
