Tirtagangga Water Palace
The Tirtagangga Water Palace is just 15 kilometers away from Amed. It's one of the sightseeing highlights in Bali. All sorts of colorful flowers bloom everywhere, countless Koi carp swim in the large water basins and the many stone buildings and sculptures simply create a very special flair.
You can relax in a small, beautiful café located above the garden where you have a great view of the whole area.
​
Rice fields
In the surrounding of Amed there are many and really gigantic rice fields! You can combine it with a trip to the Tirtagangga Water Palace. On the way there you will pass some rice fields, all of which make postcard motifs. Just stop at the roadside, take out the camera and snap.
Vulkan Gunung Agung
The Gunung Agung is with 3,142 meters the highest mountain on the island of Bali. The volcano is still active and is of great importance to every Balinese as they believe that the spirits of the ancestors live on the mountain and also some powerful deities, including Shiva.
Two hiking trails are existing, one from Besakih directly to the summit with its breathtaking view and one from Pura Pasar Agung.
Tempel Pura Besakih
The Pura Besakih temple is the most important, holiest and largest temple complex in Bali. The so-called Mother Temple is the most important Hindu sanctuary in Indonesia with a three square kilometer area with 22 temples and over 200 shrines and other sacred buildings.
The complex is a must for travelers, especially since there are festivals and ceremonies.
Tempel Pura Luhur Lempuyang
The Pura Lempuyang Temple is a Hindu / Balinese temple that is located approx. 15 km south of Amed. The special thing about the temple is that it is located on a 180 meter high mountain of the same name. The temple itself is not considered a tourist attraction, but rather the famous Heavenly Gate of Pura Lempuyang. There you have a perfect view of Mount Agung and with the setting sun, the complex becomes a mystical place.
Japanese Shipwreck
The Japanese shipwreck is a popular diving site in Lipah Bay. Located around 7 km off the coast of Lipah Beach, this 20-metre-long wreck of a Japanese freighter is about 6 to 10 metres underwater. The waters are relatively calm, so good swimmers can make their way to the site with just a mask and snorkel.
