Sangeh and Taman Ayun

Sangeh Bukit Sari Temple – Taman Ayun – Tanah Lot Tour

Sangeh Bukit Sari Temple, also known as Puncak Sari Temple, is located in Sangeh Village within a lush nutmeg forest. After exploring this peaceful sanctuary, the journey continues to Taman Ayun Temple in Mengwi Village, Badung Regency. Built in 1634 by the King of Mengwi, this royal temple is surrounded by wide ponds symbolizing the cosmic ocean. The final stop of the tour is the iconic Tanah Lot Temple, located in Braban Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency — a sacred temple majestically perched on a large black rock by the sea.

Sangeh Monkey Forest and Bukit Sari Temple

Bukit Sari Temple, or Puncak Sari Temple, stands in the middle of the Sangeh nutmeg forest. This temple was built by the King of Mengwi in the 17th century. Visitors entering the forest should be careful with their belongings, as playful monkeys often roam freely. The origin of these monkeys remains unclear, but they live in several distinct groups within the area, adding a lively charm to the serene atmosphere.

Taman Ayun Temple

Located in Mengwi Village, about 18 km north of Denpasar, Taman Ayun Temple was built in 1634 by I Gusti Agung Anom, the King of Mengwi. The temple complex features elegant multi-tiered shrines (meru) dedicated to the deities of Mount Agung and Mount Batukaru. Surrounded by a large moat and set within beautifully landscaped gardens, this royal family temple showcases the harmony of Balinese architecture and spiritual tradition.

Tanah Lot Temple

Situated in Braban Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency—approximately 29 km from Denpasar—Tanah Lot Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples. Built in the 16th century, the name “Tanah Lot” comes from two Balinese words: Tanah, meaning land or reef, and Lot (or Lod), meaning sea. Thus, Tanah Lot means “land in the sea.”
The temple stands on a dramatic offshore rock formation and has long been regarded as a sacred place of worship, dating back to the Megalithic era, as evidenced by the presence of ancient stone monuments (menhir). During high tide, the temple appears to float on the ocean, creating one of Bali’s most photographed and mesmerizing views.
