Tirta Gangga a beatiful heritage in Bali
Bali is not just Kuta beach, Nusa Dua or Ubud. 
Bali is a very unique island. There are many great places in Bali. Don’t forget to visit the east side of this beautiful island to visit a Balinese heritage, Tirta 
Gangga.
Tirta Gangga, meaning holy water of the Ganges in Balinese, is one of the world's romantic gardens out of time. Gushing springs flowing from beneath an ancient Banyan tree and holy temple fill the myriad reflecting and swimming pools that grace the Water Palace.
Tirta Gangga's close proximity to Amlapura means that it is possible to visit the village on a daytrip as there are regular buses running between the two locations. The area around Tirta Gangga holds some stunning rice paddy terraces.
The prominent 11 tiered lotus fountain has become the symbol for Tirtagangga since its creation by the late Raja of Karangasem in 1948. After a tour of the Versailles Palace in France, the Raja was inspired to create his second Water Palace in the mountains overlooking his kingdom.
The waters of the holy spring have been praised by island healers for their healing and youth giving powers. Thus the Raja named them after the holy river Gangga in India which is famous for these qualities.
It is said that if one bathes in the waters of Tirtagangga on the full moon you will be blessed with lasting youth and your illnesses will be healed. Tirtagangga is the "Fountain of Youth" of Bali.
Villa Djamrud (Emerald Villa) and Villa Tirta Aye (Villa of the Beautiful Spring) overlook the magnificent Water Palace spring fed pools and fountains. They are situated in Tirta Ayu, the home of the youngest son of the late Raja. Beyond the gardens are sculpted rice terrace fields in classic Bali style which lead the eye to surrounding mountains, hills and the deep blue sea with Lombok Island floating peacefully in the distance.
Both villas have been designed and appointed for your pleasure, privacy and comfort. As was the wish of the late Raja, Tirta Gangga remains open to the public and is enjoyed by the local people on a daily basis.
You are not separated from Balinese life in your villa compound, rather you are invited to participate and enjoy interacting with the many colourful and heartfelt people who live around you.
The primary draw to Tirta Gangga for visitors is the water palace, a lovely maze of pools and fountains surround by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues. The complex was built in 1948 by the late King of Karangasem and is just over 1 hectare in size. You can bath in the pools for a small charge.
