And although South Bali is all the rave, I think East Bali is THE place to be for people who want to explore Bali\u2019s unique beauty&#8230; and don\u2019t want to be in the middle of huge crowds of tourists. If you\u2019ve been to all the hotspots in South Bali before (Uluwatu, Kuta, Seminyak, Bukit etc) or if you\u2019re looking for a laid-back vacation, please &#8211; take East Bali into consideration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to do so, first of all, YAY! And second of all &#8211; let\u2019s get to business, we got quite some planning to do! And this<strong> 10-day East Bali itinerary <\/strong>is here to help. I have gathered all the best things to do in East of Bali in this post, as well as some awesome places to stay during your adventure, plus some pretty useful tips at the end. My itinerary includes everything you could wish for: adventure, culture, relaxation, tradition, exciting activities, towns, nature and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/post-line.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22478\" width=\"840\" height=\"0\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><a id=\"myrecommendeditinerary\"><\/a>My recommended 10-day East Bali itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/recommended-itinerary-for-east-bali-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"recommended itinerary for east bali\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m recommending a 10-day trip to East Bali in order to do everything there is to do here! It may sound like too much for such a small area (it is, really?) but trust me, with all there is to see, it isn\u2019t too much at all. 10 days are just enough. East Bali is no place where you can get bored, so you will always have something to do and a new place to explore without overcrowding your days or ending up feeling exhausted. Balance is key here! That\u2019s why I picked a mix of different activities &#8211; some require more effort, while others are all about relaxation and picture-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-recommended-10day-itinerary-for-east-bali\">My recommended 10-day itinerary for East Bali:<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><strong>SIDEMEN <\/strong>&#8211; 3 days&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>KARANGASEM <\/strong>&#8211; 3 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AMED <\/strong>&#8211; 3 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CANDIDASA&nbsp;<\/strong> &#8211; 1 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s an East Bali map with all the places I am recommending below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/east-bali-itinerary-map-1024x607.jpeg\" alt=\"east bali map\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><a id=\"topthingstodo\"><\/a>11 Top things to do in East Bali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/post-line.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22478\" width=\"840\" height=\"0\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I\u2019ve said it before, but I just can\u2019t help it: there are SO many amazing East Bali attractions!

Yes, sir, count me in! I know I will probably say this time and time again, but Tukad Cepung Waterfall is a really special place. It simply looks like Heaven on Earth! And this is not just a metaphor &#8211; what makes this place special is the way the sun falls on the waterfall at sunrise, oftentimes creating beautiful rainbows and countless photo opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water is clear, the sound of the water falling is soothing and the light is just SO amazing! I can try to put it into words if you want, but I feel like this doesn\u2019t do it justice.

But the views more than compare &#8211; they really are wonderful! But what makes Sidemen a must-visit during your trip is a small little detail that no other rice terraces have: the view of Mount Agung looming in the background, also known as the highest mountain in Bali and an active volcano.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re interested in some lush greenery and a relaxing walk, this is the place to go! Doing a trek in Sidemen is very recommended and it\u2019s a pretty popular activity. On your way, you will walk in the rice fields, through the charming Sidemen village and over the river.

Ah, by the way, Mt Agung is not just a mountain, it\u2019s actually an active volcano! It\u2019s really grand and impressive and, if I come to think about it, in a way, I can compare it to Mt. Fuji in Japan &#8211; a.k.a you can feel its presence everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling adventurous? You can even climb Mount Agung! But this is not for the feint hearted &#8211; you\u2019ll need a good level of fitness for this one. I\u2019m talking about professional-level-mountain-climber here. No, I\u2019m not kidding!

So it has to be HIGH up on your list of things to do in East Bali if you ask me. The top of the temple is where you want to arrive &#8211; a superb setting for pictures, where Mt. Agung can be seen between the two gates. By the way, this temple is the highest temple in Bali!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen countless pictures of this place, especially on Instagram. Because of this, <strong>I recommend going there at sunset<\/strong> &#8211; the mornings have become crazy busy with tourists trying to get the perfect picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while we\u2019re on the subject\u2026 you may have seen that most of the pictures of this temple online make it seem like there\u2019s a big pool or a lake in front of the gates. That\u2019s, in fact, just not true. <strong>Spoiler alert &#8211; there is no lake<\/strong>. Just some locals, holding a little mirror for the pictures, elevating your gram game and hoping to earn a tip. Although it\u2019s a bit misleading and it brings up the bigger topic into discussion, related to the impact that social media has on travelling, there is no denying it\u2019s a pretty impressive photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LOCATION: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Penataran+Lempuyang\/@-8.3914412,115.6289615,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x2dd20745c3f7eb0b:0x4f4f3195601822ea!8m2!3d-8.3914412!4d115.6311502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bunutan, Abang, Seraya Bar., Kec.

Yes, extra stuff to double the fun! In case you feel like your days are not full enough or if you have already visited some of the spots above and need something new, you can pick from the activities recommended below. I told you you\u2019ll never get bored in East Bali!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-bukit-lemped-canopy-experience\">1 &#8211; Bukit Lemped canopy experience<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Bukit Lemped Pedaling Tree House is among the most popular East Bali tourist attractions. Many people flock here not just for the beautiful treehouse, but also for the canopy experience. Expect an adventurous experience with ladders, ropes, paths and bridges among tall trees. The kid in you will be SO happy! But if you have a fear of heights\u2026 you might be better skipping on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-goa-lawah-temple\">2 &#8211; Goa Lawah Temple<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Goa-Lawah-Temple-in-Bali-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Goa Lawah Temple in Bali\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gao Lawah Temple, literally translating to the \u201cBat Cave\u201d, is an important temple in Bali (actually one of their 9 directional temples) and a popular tourist stop. It\u2019s actually one of the biggest temples around and it dates from the 11th century. From then until now, the temple has remained a place of worship for locals. And yes, there are real bats living there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP: <\/strong>You can stop at Gao Laway Temple on your way from Denpasar to East Bali. This can easily be one of your first stops if you want to!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-candidasa-lotus-lagoon\">3 &#8211; Candidasa Lotus Lagoon<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You know, I suggested a stop in Candidasa in my itinerary. Well, one of the highlights of this place is the Lotus Lagoon. Yes, it\u2019s exactly what you\u2019re expecting it to be &#8211; a beautiful (artificial) pond with numerous pink lotuses, as well as some intricate Balinese statues. No entrance fee!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong><b> <\/b>If you want to get a unique view of the Lotus Lagoon, I recommend crossing the road from it to the shrines. This spot is a little more elevated and it provides an unobstructed view of the flowery pond with the sea as a backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-kerta-gosa\">4 &#8211; Kerta Gosa<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/kerta-gosa-temple-in-bali-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"kerta gosa temple in bali\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kerta Gosa, also known as Taman Gili Kerta Gosa is located in Semarapura and it\u2019s part of a historic royal palace complex. There are two main buildings to be visited here: Bale Kerta Gosa (grand hall) and Bale Kambang (floating pavilion) &#8211; two halls\/pavilions, both of them filled with beautiful paintings and lots of history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a National Heritage Site, but the entrance is free. Bonus points!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-tenganan-traditional-village\">5 &#8211; Tenganan Traditional Village<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Tenganan Village, also known as Tenganan Pegringsingan, is a traditional village located close to Candidasa. And yes, this is another place that\u2019s RICH in history! I recommend going here if you want to see how local village communities used to live in the past &#8211; and trust me, their cultural and social life is different from anything you\u2019d expect in Bali!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-telaga-waja-white-water-rafting\">6 &#8211; Telaga Waja white water rafting<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Telaga-Waja-white-water-rafting-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Telaga Waja white water rafting\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>White water rafting? Yes, sir, it was high time for some proper adventure in Bali! Doing some white water rafting on Tegala Waja River is a popular activity &#8211; and a pocket-friendly one, too! Except for a little bit of adrenaline, you\u2019re also signing up for some incredible views of hills, waterfalls, valleys and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-tihingan-village\">7 &#8211; Tihingan Village<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Tihingan Village is a traditional Balinese craftsmen village known for its production of gamelan instruments &#8211; anything from drums to gongs. Most of these instruments are traditionally used in holy prayers and rituals. The village is a wonderful place to explore as you\u2019ll find lots of workshops there (with blacksmiths at work!), as well as cute galleries with instruments on display. If you\u2019re enthusiastic about it, you can even go home with some pretty bells for around 25 US$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/post-line.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22478\" width=\"840\" height=\"0\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you want to explore more of Bali, here are some other awesome destinations to add to your trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ubud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nusa Islands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uluwatu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Munduk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lovina<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canggu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seminyak<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gili Islands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Komodo Island<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lombok<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I have detailed articles about each of them, all you need to do is click on the titles above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/post-line.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22478\" width=\"840\" height=\"0\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><a id=\"organisedtourseastbali\"><\/a>BONUS #2: Best organised tours for East Bali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/east-bali-organised-tours-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"east bali organised tours\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MY RECOMMENDATION:<\/strong><b> <\/b>I think the best idea would be to book a private car charter for your itinerary.

height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, here are some very useful tips and things to take with you on your trip to East Bali:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"set-up-your-itinerary-beforehand\">SET UP YOUR ITINERARY BEFOREHAND<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can use this article as a base for your East Bali itinerary, but I strongly advise you make a day-by-day plan so you can ensure you\u2019re making the best out of your time in this wonderful destination. You don\u2019t want to go home with the regret of not visiting that beautiful waterfall you dreamed about just because you didn\u2019t plan properly!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sim-card\">SIM CARD<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Making sure you get a local SIM card with data once you arrive at the airport. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klook.com\/en-PH\/activity\/16711-3g-4g-sim-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">order it online<\/a> beforehand and pick it up once you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cash\">CASH<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always best to have some cash with you when you\u2019re travelling around Indonesia. You might not encounter as many ATMs here as you\u2019d wish, especially if you\u2019re visiting remote locations. Plus, not all places (only a very few, actually) offer the possibility of paying with your card.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dress-appropriately\">DRESS APPROPRIATELY<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This is especially important when you\u2019re visiting sacred\/prayer places such as temples. Make sure your shoulders and knees are covered, even if it\u2019s just with a scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dont-pollute\">DON\u2019T POLLUTE<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>And I cannot stress this enough! This is, of course, something I advise you to be careful about anywhere in the world. A good tip to help with this: I recommend bringing your favourite filter refillable water bottle with you and avoiding buying endless bottled water.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"think-twice-about-visiting-during-low-season\">THINK TWICE ABOUT VISITING DURING LOW SEASON<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The low season in Bali is equal to the rainy season (January, February, March, April, October, November) and, although the prices drop drastically during these times, it\u2019s best to think twice about it. The rainy days in Bali usually mean light sessions of rain in the afternoon&#8230; or full on tropic thunder storms! &#8211; This could limit your sightseeing opportunities at times!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lastly-dont-forget-to-bargain\">LASTLY, DON\u2019T FORGET TO BARGAIN<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Almost all prices in Indonesia are inflated, so at least some bargaining is expected. Don\u2019t be embarrassed to do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/post-line.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22478\" width=\"840\" height=\"0\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That was my complete itinerary and list of things to do in East Bali! From visiting the world-famous Tirta Gangga Water Palace to snorkelling in Amed, there are countless exciting things to do in this part of the world.
