In eastern Bali, there are three nearby attractions perfect for capturing ethereal and stunning photos!
Gates of Heaven
The first spot is a Hindu temple known as the ‘Gates of Heaven’. This Bali landmark gained popularity for its surreal photos featuring Mount Agung, Bali’s sacred mountain, and has become a must-visit Instagram spot.

Tirta Gangga Water Palace
The second attraction is ‘Tirta Gangga Water Palace’ at the foot of the Gates of Heaven. Originally named ‘Tirta Gangga’, this water palace is also known by its phonetic translation ‘Tirta Gangga Water Palace’. It’s just a 20-minute drive from Bali’s famous Gates of Heaven.
This is an excellent location for Instagram-worthy photos. Bring some fish food to attract the large koi carp, creating the illusion of floating on water - the resulting photos have an ethereal quality!
