Bali now boasts a new and unique tourist destination offering an experience like no other at great heights. Turyapada Tower, located in Buleleng, has become one of the most fascinating attractions.
On the fifth floor of this tower, visitors can experience the thrill of walking on a transparent glass bridge with a direct view of the ground below. The bridge offers breathtaking views from a height of 1,636 meters above sea level, overlooking Lake Buyan, green hills, and nearby settlements.
This glass bridge, designed with high-strength materials, ensures maximum safety while still providing an adrenaline-pumping experience for visitors.
Turyapada Tower, which also serves as a communication tower for digital TV networks, radio, and cellular networks, has now transformed into a tourist attraction that combines technology, education, and the beauty of nature.
History and Background of Turyapada Tower
Initially, the construction of Turyapada Tower aimed to strengthen communication networks in the mountainous region of Bali.
However, recognizing its immense tourism potential, the tower was developed into a destination that combines various attractions.
Officially opened on December 27, 2024, Turyapada Tower is still in its limited opening phase, with some facilities undergoing maintenance.
The second phase of development is planned to be completed by July 2025, which will include enhancements such as a planetarium, improved access routes, parking areas, and gardens.
What Makes Turyapada Tower Unique
Turyapada Tower offers a vastly different experience compared to other tourist destinations in Bali. With its elevated location, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panorama that includes views of Lake Buyan, green hills, and local settlements from a spectacular vantage point.
The attractions offered, such as the glass bridge, skywalk, and revolving restaurant, make the visit even more enticing.
On the tenth floor of the tower, a planetarium offers an educational experience on astronomy, perfect for visitors interested in learning more about outer space.
Visitor Restrictions for Comfort and Safety
Turyapada Tower is a modern tourist destination that blends natural beauty with technology and education. However, as the site is still in the process of development, visitors are required to follow certain rules.
For example, reserving tickets in advance through the official website, as tickets are not sold directly on-site. Currently, the number of visitors is limited to 60 people per day, with two visiting sessions on Saturdays and Sundays: 10:00-12:00 WITA and 13:00-15:00 WITA.
For those wishing to experience this thrilling adventure, it is highly recommended to make reservations early to avoid missing out on the available slots. Reservations can be made via the official website: https://turyapada.baliprov.go.id/.
Additionally, for safety reasons, children under 12 years old are not allowed to enter. Every visitor is also required to wear special footwear to ensure the glass surface remains undamaged and safe.
