Hotels in Karangasem, Indonesia

Karangasem stretches across eastern Bali, with a drier, sunnier climate than the island's south-warm year-round, with temperatures around 82°F (28°C). It's famous for the Tirta Gangga water palace and the ancient walled village of Tenganan, where you can witness traditional double-ikat weaving. In the dry season from April to October, hike up Mount Agung for sunrise views, while the wetter months from November to March keep crowds thin and accommodation cheap, perfect for exploring the palace's lotus ponds and fountains without the rush.
