Karangasem

The regency of Karangasem in east Bali, once a powerful kingdom that ruled much of Lombok, now exudes a tranquil, unspoiled allure beneath the shadow of the towering volcanic Mount Agung. The district capital, Amlapura, and traditional villages dot the landscape, offering glimpses into the region’s rich history. Visitors can explore the sacred Besakih and Lempuyang temples, stroll through the serene Tirta Gangga and Taman Ujung water palaces, and dive in the renowned waters of Amed and Tulamben.
