A few words about us

Tirtagangga is a well-known cultural landmark of Bali. It belongs to the Royal Family of Karangasem and is composed mainly of water, gardens and sculptures. Set in the middle of rice fields and surrounded by several natural springs, it was built by the late King, Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, in 1948. He was inspired by the many water springs of Rejasa, and built this beautiful park for everybody to enjoy.

Located at the foot of Mount Agung, about 7 km north of Amlapura, the main town of Karangasem, Tirtagangga will enchant you with its beauty, its charm, and the sound of water flowing everywhere in the park.

The first thing you see on entering the garden is the elegant eleven-tiered Nawa Sanga fountain rising from the middle of the complex. Together with the two ponds it forms the middle Bwah level.
