Bali Car-Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour
Description
Exploring the iconic sights and cultural heart of the island's eastern coast. Your private tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Our first destination is the legendary Lempuyang Temple, famously known as "The Gates of Heaven." From there, the journey to the serene Tirta Gangga Water Garden, a former royal palace renowned for its stunning blend of Balinese and Chinese architecture. Our exploration continues to Taman Ujung Sukasada, a beautifully laid-out water palace. For lunch, you can enjoy an authentic meal at a restaurant-simply inform your driver of your preference. After lunch, we'll head to the pristine Virgin Beach, a hidden gem with a beautiful stretch of white sand and clear turquoise waters. Our final cultural stop is the ancient Tenganan Village, one of the oldest traditional villages in Bali, where unique customs are preserved. After a day of incredible sights, we will ensure a comfortable return to your hotel.

Itinerary
Lempuyang Temple is believed to predate the majority of Hindu temples on the island. Definitely a highlight on any travel itinerary for the fit and adventurous, the main temple lies at 1,175m above sea level, up on the peak of the namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. The heights are reachable via a steep staircase of over 1,700 steps, with attractions along the way including several other temples and hordes of grey long-tailed macaques that inhabit the surrounding cool mountain forests.
Tirta Gangga Water Palace is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest designed and constructed in 1948 by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem (1887 - 1966), who was the last king of Karangasem. He was a remarkable man to say the least, not only because he was the architect of the water gardens but also because he helped with the construction of the gardens.
Taman Ujung Sukasada is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest located in the village of Seraya in Karangasem regency, its the sister site of Tirta Gangga, also built by the late raja of Karangasem. The complex consists of various large pools and historic structures set against a backdrop of Mount Agung and the eastern shoreline. The site suffered near devastation by showers of hot ash following the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963 and also weathered an earthquake in 1979. Restoration efforts throughout the decades made way to its current splendor and it continues to appeal to both locals and visitors.
Virgin Beach, White Sand Beach, Pantai Pasir Putih, and Bias Putih are all names for the same lovely stretch of white(ish) sand within easy reach from Candi Dasa, itself having no real beach to speak of. We are calling it Virgin Beach, as that’s what’s on the brand-spanking-new official sign erected when we visited in early 2016 — it saves confusion, as there’s at least one Pantai Pasir Putih (White Sand Beach) on every island of Indonesia. Additionally, white is a misnomer — and virgins come in a wider colour range.
Tenganan Village is charming and has some very fascinating authentic traditional festival (ritual dances and gladiator) like Bali Aga of Tenganan often holds the battle between local youths. The people of Tenganan are skilled in the unique technique of weaving, called the double ikat, where the belief in the magical power of the fabric is essential in bringing out the beauty of the ikat cloth.

My wife and I had an incredible day trip to Gates of Heaven with Raj, which ended up being one of our favorite days during our honeymoon in Bali! While the Gates of Heaven were the highlighted activity for the tour, it also included stops to Virgin Beach and a local village, which we unfortunately had to decline visiting due to time constraints on our part. However, we more than got our money's worth for what we did get to partake in. Heaven's Gate was just as amazing to see in person. Although there was a long wait to take pictures in front of heaven's gate, there was luckily plenty to do in the area while we passed the time. During that time we were able to take pictures with the swings on top of the hill, stroll around the area, and had a great lunch at a nearby restaurant with a lovely mountain view (the lunch was included in the tour). That portion alone would've been worth the price of admission for the activity. But we also visited Virgin Beach, which surprisingly had few crowds and calm waves, making it a perfect beach day to relax. We spent a couple of hours there before heading back to our hotel. As for Raj, he was the best driver we had in Bali! I say driver, but he also performed duties that could easily be counted as tour/local guide. He was friendly, courteous, and professional, providing us with a smooth ride between stops, fun conversation, patiently waited as we experienced the activities, and giving us local insight into Balinese culture. He even went and got various fruits to try. Raj truly made an already amazing day trip feel even more special and we were glad to have him as our driver that day!

We had a great time with our driver Agung on this trip. We got to see a lot and he was very good at telling us about the different places. We are very happy and would definitely recommend this trip, but would also recommend having Agung as a driver.

This agency is really good. I booked a last minute tour, and they accommodate us very well. Our driver & guide Aditya, was very kind, friendly, helpful. I couldn’t ask for more. I requested the same driver/guide for our next tour because Aditya is just so great. I highly recommend and appreciate the service.

Nyoman was the best. Always asking us what our preference was. He let us change our minds a couple of times and he never rushed us. He made it a great experience!
