    With to see the pond. Disappointed if you plan to visit inside temple

    I visited in the afternoon. It was sunny day but adjust areas lot of trees and also some beds are put to take rest and enjoy the water pond temple etc. on the right side near the walking path Pachauri pandas statues are the there but nameplate are rusted. Only Sagadev name is visible then i asked the local Is this pancha pandas then he said yes and then i understand. Local Sarawathi temple is allowed for local Balinese people and even though i am Hindu i didn’t allowed to enter and strictly maintain the traditional cultures. 65000 IDR is the admission fee

    Tour Has Closed Down! DONT BOOK

    This tour has closed down for 3 years! Please dont book this tour! They won’t show up and won’t refund your money. We learned the hard way- waking up at 3:30am only to have no one there to pick us up. Avoid at all costs

    Wonderful tour and patient understanding guide

    Jack did a great job of showing us the best Instagram photo spots, my wife is dedicated to taking as many photos as she can especially when she can get in the shot. Our guide was patient and understanding and helped us get the most out of our trip to Bali. Highly recommended!

    Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.

    Is Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ubud?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ubud?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ubud?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Bottled water; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Ticket entrance : gate of heaven 20.000, tirta gangga 50.000, tukad cepung 20.000. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 282 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Gate of Heaven - Tirta Gangga Royal Water Palace - Tukad Cepung Waterfall wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
