East Bali, in Karangasem Regency, is quieter than the south, with views of Mount Agung, royal water gardens and beaches for snorkelling. This route suits a full day or an overnight stay in Amed.

Route options

  1. Lempuyang Temple — leave very early for a shorter queue at the Gates of Heaven photo spot.
  2. Tirta Gangga — a royal water garden with pools and statues.
  3. Taman Ujung — a water palace by the sea.
  4. Amed — snorkelling at Jemeluk and sunset with Mount Agung as the backdrop.

From Sanur to Karangasem takes about 2–2.5 hours. For a more relaxed trip, stay a night in Amed.

Which scooter to ride

The main roads are smooth but the distances are long. An NMAX, PCX or XMAX makes the long ride more comfortable. For village roads around Amed, rent a KLX 150 once you get there. See scooter rental in Amed.

Tips

  • Bring a sarong and sash for entering temples.
  • Fill up in larger towns such as Klungkung and Amlapura.
  • Amed's coastal road is winding — don't rush.
  • Carry cash for temple donations and parking.
