Conservation Note
Tourism pressures can strain fragile trails and water features—use marked paths, avoid single-use plastics, and follow temple guidance to reduce impact.
Tirta Gangga was built by the late King of Karangasem in the 1940s as a royal water garden; Lempuyang is one of Bali’s oldest temple complexes with long religious significance tied to Mount Agung.
