Enter the forest grounds. The macaques here are descendants of the monkey king Hanuman's army. They act as guardians of the 17th century Puri Buki Sari temple. Keep your belongings secure as the monkeys are bold.

Explore the temple complex within the forest. The area is described as a fragment of Mount Meru that fell to earth. Enjoy the quiet atmosphere before the midday heat peaks.

Finish your visit. The temple combines well with a visit to Pura Taman Ayun, which is located just to the southwest on the road toward Petang.
Local tip
The monkeys are as bold as elsewhere in Bali. Hang on to your belongings and do not feed them.
