Mengwi Temple’s Towers

Mengwi Temple GateBali is an island known for its beautiful temples and Mengwi is no exception.

For anyone visiting these temples, it is typically requested that visitors must wear a sarong in order to be properly dressed although tourists are usually unaware of this requirement and so it is seldom seen. Women are also forbid to enter during their menstruation.

Upon reaching the grounds you meet a large gate at its entrance guarded by trademark Bali statues of Barongs (guardians typically reflected through an animal-like creature). After passing through its doors, the temple opens up to a vast open field with miniature pagodas and fountains and at the center is a structure that resembles a watch tower.

Before you enter the Monkey forest of Ubud, you don't know what to really expect unless you've been there. Prior to our visit I thought to myself, "I hope we see a good amount of monkeys."
