Taman Ujung, also called Taman Soekasada, was completed in 1921 by the last raja of Karangasem as a place to receive guests and for the royal family to relax. Wide reflecting ponds are linked by long bridges and pavilions that mix Balinese and European lines. An earthquake and the 1963 eruption of Mount Agung wrecked much of it; what stands today is a careful restoration.
The palace sits between the hills and the coast, so on a clear day the pools mirror Mount Agung on one side and the ocean on the other. Manicured gardens climb the slope, and a short walk up the terraces reaches a pavilion with the widest view over the whole layout.
Walking is flat around the ponds with some steps up the terraces, and shade is limited, so a hat and water help; allow around 45 minutes. Taman Ujung sits close to Tirta Gangga, and the two royal water palaces of Karangasem pair naturally on an East Bali day.

The whole day prepaid, with entrance tickets for the listed stops included. Nothing to pay at the gates.
We pick you up from your hotel or villa in the Ubud area at the time you choose. Your driver shares their details the day before.
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat, and some cash for entrance tickets (Standard) and lunch along the way.
Temples ask for a sarong, arranged at the gate. A few stops have stairs or a short walk. The route is flexible - linger or skip as you like.
